A breathtaking landscape and attractive small towns and villages draw
many visitors to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. A huge variety of
people, landscapes and wildlife can be found within its boundaries, from
churches that acted as places of rest on long routes, pubs that doubled
up as courthouses and Neolithic discoveries in the new extension of the
park, to the longest, deepest and oddest caves in the region and rare
flora and fauna - there's plenty to discover. A-Z of the Yorkshire Dales
reveals the history behind the area, its streets and buildings,
businesses and the people connected with it. Alongside the famous
historical connections are unusual characters, tucked-away places and
unique events that are less well known. Fully illustrated throughout,
this book will appeal to all those with an interest in this spectacular
corner of England.
