Description

|
The North York Moors are a largely uninhabited expanse of high ground, a wild landscape, where few walls encroach. Unquestionably this is one of the most stunning landscapes in Britain, with miles of rippling heather, towering sea cliffs, secluded beaches and grassy dales that give it a character of its own.
