The Yorkshire Moors may not be one of the best known national parks, but the area includes some breathtakingly beautiful scenery, including vast expanses of open moorland, dramatic sea cliffs, sudden escarpments and hidden valleys.
This site is going to be my personal guide to the Moors, based on seventeen years of walking in the national park. We will be building up a collection of suggested walks (thirty nine at the moment), complete with maps and easy to follow instructions, each based on my own walks over the last few years, and illustrated by some of the thousands of photos I've taken on the moors.
The heart of the site is going to be the gazetteer,
which we hope to develop into a complete guide to the Moors, supported by a series of maps created for this site.
Gazatteer entries will be created as I visit the Moors, and expanded as more infomation is found, so keep coming back.
We also hope to create a series of articles about the wildlife and history of the moors.
If you have any questions, then get in touch using our contact form and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
