Yorkshire is Britain's biggest county with a variety of land-, sea-, town- and cityscape to match.  Within its borders it encompasses two National Parks (the North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Dales), dynamic cities like Leeds and Bradford, historic cities like York and Ripon, ruined abbeys, palatial country houses and a magnificent coastline stretching from Spurn Head in the south to Staithes and beyond in the north.  Yorkshire really does contain the best of Britian.

Many visitors are drawn by locations made internationally famous by television series.  Others come becuase of Yorkshire's literary associations: indeen, a whole area of the South Pennines by the Lancashire border is known as the Bronte Moors after the sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne, who grew up in their father's atmoshperic rectory at Haworth.  Yet more come simply becuase of the specatuclar variety of scneery, entranced by the way in which bleak moorland gives way to fertile valleys, by the criss-cross patterns of innumerable dry-stone walls, and by the way that rarely do you have to walk far in a towen before you reach open and glorious countryside.  There is no better way of comprehending this supremely alluring diversity than from a bird's-eye view, the perspective from the skies opening-up undiscovered vistas and unlcoking a further dimension in the attraction of 'God's Own County'.
