I will start and it’s a tough one! Our beautiful county has so many wonderful places.
My no 1 spot is Thixendale, I love to walk through the dry valleys, the beautiful artwork by Chris Drury just adds to the natural beauty of the area.
We often walk the 8.5 mile route and may only see one or two other walkers….bliss.
Thixendale was the last place in the UK to get TV reception as it’s so remote, it didn’t arrive until the 1990’s.

The moors from Haworth. I want my ashes to be scattered there…..

Bishop Burton in the East Riding of Yorkshire is my favourite place: it's where my mum and her mother and grandmother were born and it's a beautiful village with the pond and ducks.

There are people who were born in Yorkshire
People who wish they were born in Yorkshire
And people with no ambition at all. grin I was of course, born in Yorkshire. grin
