Attractions |

Sheffield lies
in Yorkshire, the largest of all England's counties. In the northwest
of the county lies the Yorkshire Dales National Park, a lovely
patchwork of limestone hills, gentle valleys and the high peaks
of Whernside, Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough. The classical Yorkshire
Dales spread to the north from the market and spa towns of Settle,
Skipton, Ilkley and Harrogate in North Yorkshire, with most of
the larger southern dales such as Ribblesdale, Malhamdale and
Airedale, Wharfedale and Nidderdale running roughly parallel
from north to south, and the more northerly dales including Wensleydale,
Swaledale and Teesdale running generally from west to east. The
North York Moors is the county's other national park, with bleak
upland moors and a magnificent rugged coastline. To the southeast
of the region lie the Yorkshire Wolds, formed from chalk hills
that arc from the Humber estuary west of Kingston upon Hull up
to the North Sea coast between Bridlington and Scarborough.
