The North York Moors stretch from the soaring cliffs above Robin Hood's Bay to the rising escarpment of the Cleveland Hills and are bounded by the Vales of Mowbray, York and Pickering. Based on extensive exploration of the National Park's 1200-mile network of footpaths, this book presents 35 walks which encompass ridge, dale, coast, crag, abbey and wildlife. The description of each route is accompanied by insights into past visitors, including pilgrims to the great abbeys, traders, drovers, soldiers, smugglers, miners, and great writers.
