Synopsis
This book details the unique composition of the North Riding of Yorkshire. By examining geology, natural history, and industry, the author presents an unusually broad picture of what makes this region of England so special. The book sets the scene, describing the landscape of moorland, farmland, and dramatic cliffs and then goes on to examine the geology of the area, showing how it came to be this way, followed by a look at the plants and animals that are found here, particularly in the dales and along the coastline. Finally, the author examines the evolution of industry in the region, with a focus on iron. The resulting image is a comprehensive and multidimensional portrait of a remarkable and fascinating region. The author's deep knowledge of the area informs every page and provides the reader with a valuable vantage point to appreciate the grandeur of the untamed parts of North Yorkshire.
