Overview

Excerpt from Through Yorkshire: The County of Broad Acres IT is a deep joy to write of the wonderful variety of Yorkshire's attractiveness, and my pen would carry me into exuberance were I not reminded that many who pick up this little book may have yet to discover the beauty and glamour of the great county. I have, therefore, tried to keep my great love of this portion of ancient Northumbria within bounds, and have even reduced the title of the volume to such colourless words that I might almost be accused of writing for the scurrying traveller who is content to pass through a country and carry away such impressions as he picks up an passant. This, however, would not be a fair criticism, for, small as this little volume may be, I have endeavoured to indicate where romance and beauty may be found, where associations with literature and great events of history are enshrined, and where the great solitudes of heathery moorland and grassy fell call to the jaded town dweller. In order to make it easy to reach any of the places described, I have indicated the nearest railway station in italics as prominently as possible.
