57 Reasons to Love Yorkshire
|
Lovely Morgana!! We need to get ourselves back to Yorkshire!
|
Wow - Yorkshire always has pleased me - especially the moors but where is Yorkshire Pudding on that list or ain't it found much in Yokshur?
And that train station in York - the most amazing in the U K IMO and the National Railway Museum... so much - neat pictures thanks for posting and except the weather you are lucky to be living in one of the nicer parts of the U.K. (I can't understand it when folks say on the train to Scotland from London there ain't much nice scenery - well there is in Yorkshire! |
The Yorkshire puds are photo 49 - and they look good too.
|
Graet pictures - and there are all the other places they haven't mentioned too (but let's keep them secret!)

Hi MORGANA (love that name)
"9 Because the interior of York Minster is the only thing more epic than the exterior." Amen. I thought that YORK MINSTER was stunning and not cluttered with later additions of choirs, confessionals, separate altars, and memorials that block the view in so many other cathedrals in Europe - Seville and Toledo for example. The pics are gorgeous - thanks so much! |

funny I slowly went thru the all but hurried a bit near the end - I guess they looked more like glazed doughnuts at quick glance than Yorkshire Pub. Sorry for the mistake. |
Our trip to Yorkshire was one of our very best. I would go back in a minute. Lots of things on that list that I haven't seen.

A beautiful county for sure! And very different from dales to moors...number 58 should be...because we had a vet called James Herriot!
|
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. We just traveled from London to York and then on to Edinburgh by train and thoroughly enjoyed our time in York and the scenery from the windows. We saw York Minister and went back in the evening for evensong, walked through the Shambles, had tea at Betty's, and walked on a portion of the wall. Also did a day trip to Melrose Abbey which was one of the highlights of our time in Britain.
The Knaresbridge picture is breathtaking. I, too, would love to spend more time in Yorkshire. |
"A beautiful county for sure! And very different from dales to moors..."
Just wondering - what is the difference between "dales" and "moors"? |
The dales are like a series of valleys, very green...lots of pretty market towns like Skipton and Settle...the moors are further north and east...more desolate...still beautiful though...different styles of geography I guess

Thanks for posting, Morgana. We spent 11 days in Yorkshire a couple of years ago. So beautiful. Friendly people. Has the Great East Window been restored yet?

The Guardian quote shows the dry sense of humour perfectly

They missed off the best reason - its right next to Lancashire.
Seriously, were it not for my commitments I would be over the border like a shot. And despite what they say, I find most Yorkshire folk much more friendly. |
Thanks! I just saw this set which was recommended on a photography site I visit. The beauty and humor were wonderful in these pictures. I spent a week in Yorks. thirty years ago and hope to go back some day.

Yorkshire Terriers - great line about 'never as beautiful as their natural habitat' - an understatement IMO.
