About this product

Product Information

Exploring North Yorkshire's History is a journey through the wonderfully varied landscape of North Yorkshire, and examines its rich history through contemporary colour photographs and words. North Yorkshire is England's largest county and, being almost 100 miles wide and 65 miles long, offers some of the country's most stunning scenery, from the breathtaking east coastline to the fabulous National Parks of the Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors. Many of the areas have been designated Areas of Outstanding Beauty. North Yorkshire is a place of history and legend, with its many ruined castles and abbeys. The journey starts in the ancient city of York. Once briefly the centre of the Roman Empire, this stupendous city has a wealth of history and is truly a jewel in the crown. As we continue through the county we will meet such historical figures as Captain Cook and Guy Fawkes, and visit many delightful places. We will examine battles, such as the lesser known Battle of Fulford in 1066 and the notorious Battle of Towton (the bloodiest battle ever fought on British soil). Our journey will take us from ancient times to more recent days and we will discover what makes North Yorkshire a truly special place. Exploring North Yorkshire's History is a wonderful book for anyone wishing to learn more about this delightful county through a combination of stunning full colour photographs and informative text.
