"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
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.

Malham Lings Lone Tree - Yorkshire Dales
Malham Lings is a natural limestone "pavement" made of huge slabs of rock (clints) that are separated by gaps (grykes). Of all their diverse flora, the most surprising to find on a limestone pavement are trees.
A gryke seems hardly sufficient to sustain a mature ash tree but here it does just that. Some of these trees may have become established when the soil still covered the clints. As the soil diminished, their roots penetrated cracks and fissures in the limestone, giving access to just enough nutrients and water to sustain them.
