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.

Blakey Topping - North York Moors
The conical hill of Blakey Topping looks strangely out of place in the landscape - how did it get here? Local legend has it that it was formed from a handful of earth thrown by the giant Wade during an argument with his wife, Bell. He scooped out the earth, forming the nearby Hole of Horcum, and the handful landed here almost a mile away. In reality, Blakey Topping was once part of the Tabular Hills - the distinctive flat topped ‘table- topped’ hills that form the southern edge of the North York Moors. Its slopes have been gradually worn away by water action over many thousands of years.
