PREFACE

It may seem almost superfluous to explain that this book does not deal with the whole of Yorkshire, for it would obviously be impossible to get even a passing glimpse of such a great tract of country in a book of this nature. But I have endeavoured to give my own impressions of much of the beautiful coast line, and also some idea of the character of the moors and dales of the north east portion of the county.

I have described the Dale Country in a companion volume to this, entitled 'Yorkshire Dales and Fells.'
