From England's largest vale and northern Europe's largest gothic cathedral to Britain's oldest city, Yorkshire is home to some of Britain's best architecture, most ravishing scenery, and is the cradle of some of the country's most influential and individual characters. You will discover the only clog factory in the world, the first English actor to win an Oscar, the world's oldest association football club, and largest expanse of medieval stained glass. This gem of a book will act as a wonderfully surprising and highly entertaining guide to one of England's best loved counties.
