Yorkshire Dales
A village in Yorkshire Dales
The Yorkshire Dales is an area of high ground in North and West Yorkshire, UK.
The dales themselves are 'U' and 'V' shaped valleys cut in flat limestone pavement. The characteristic scenery is green upland pastures separated by dry-stone walls and grazed by sheep and cattle.
The moors above are covered with heather and famed for grouse shooting in the months following August 12 each year (the 'Glorious Twelfth').
