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.

Ana Cross - North York Moors
Ainhowe or Ana Cross is situated about ½ a mile east of Rosedale Chimney Bank on wild Spaunton Moor and has been a prominent landmark for hundreds of years. The original cross can be seen in the crypt of Lastingham Church, about 2 miles south of the present structure which stands at an impressive height of over 10 ft. This makes it the tallest cross on the moors but at one time it stood even higher, almost 30 ft high!
