North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland
Yorkshire, the largest county in England is home to two National Parks. The Yorkshire Dales is a collection of river valleys and the hills among them, rising from the Vale of York westwards to the hilltops of the main Pennine watershed and the North York Moors, a beautiful landscape of stunning moorland, spectacular coast, ancient woodland and historic sites.
Northumberland is a vast swathe of northeast England, from the fiercely contested Scottish Border to the boundary of Yorkshire; from the High Pennines - England's last wilderness - to the golden sands along Northumberland's coast.
