Jarrold Short Walks 26 - In & Around The Vale of York
ISBN: 0711730040
Sweeping through the heart of Yorkshire, the Vale of York is a broad, impressively flat valley that is fringed by the Pennines and Dales in the west and the Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds in the east. It is an area of colourful, unspoilt villages, where ancient churches preside over verdant greens and quiet, leafy lanes wind through a gentle, pastoral landscape dotted with charming cottages.
From tidal riverbank to meadow floodplain, wooded gorge to marshy heath and chalk down to the borders of the wilder hills, there is much to explore in this contrasting countryside, and stately mansions set in landscaped parks, hoary abbeys, a lost village and a forgotten canal are just some of the fascinating places to visit within this collection of delightful walks.
