A celebration of the Yorkshire Dales’ rich heritage and identity – their special events, achievements, people, industry and landmarks.
The Yorkshire Dales, in northern England, combines river valleys, hills and historic settlements. Still largely rural, with farming being a way of life for generations, many are drawn to visit its beautiful landscape. Yet, its archaeology reveals more turbulent times and a history that includes battles, iron age forts and epic railway disputes. More recently, festival and village shows are a focal point of the calendar - including the cuckoo and 1940s festivals and the hustle and bustle of livestock auctions. Dalesbred and other sheep varieties are revered across the world and notable businesses and industries include wool production, knitting, cheese making and black marble production. Pubs characterise the Dales, some in remote high locations, quoits is played locally and traditional music flourishes. Celebrating The Yorkshire Dales chronicles the proud heritage of the Dales, their important moments and what draws so many to this beautiful area today. Illustrated throughout, this fascinating book offers a marvellous and refreshingly positive insight into The Yorkshire Dales’ rich heritage, their special places, people and events, past and present. Celebrating The Yorkshire Dales will be a valuable contribution to the history of this area and provide a source of many memories to those who have known it well over the years.
