There’s a reason why Yorkshire is so renowned for its landscape – it’s because it’s home to some of the most stunning places in the world.

Bolton Abbey in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire, England, takes its name from the ruins of the 12th-century Augustinian monastery now known as Bolton Priory. The priory closed in the 1539 Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by King Henry VIII, is in the Yorkshire Dales, next to the village of Bolton Abbey. Photo: staff

The Yorkshire Wolds are low hills in the counties of the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.
On the western edge, the Wolds rise to an escarpment which then drops sharply to the Vale of York. The highest point on the escarpment is Bishop Wilton Wold (also known as Garrowby Hill), which is 807 feet above sea level. To the north, on the other side of the Vale of Pickering, lie the North York Moors, and to the east, the hills flatten into the plain of Holderness. Photo: James Hardisty
