A Visitor's Guide to Yorkshire

Dear reader,

Robin Hoods Bay from the beach welcome to Yorkshire Guide. You may be pleased to know this is not one of those awful naff directories that clutter the web and exist only to make money from advert clicking. This is my website, reflects my opinions, and covers whatever I want to cover, and before anyone call m a hypocrite, yes it  has adverts, but not too many and they're fairly unobtrusive. If I ever get the shop concept working I'll take the ads off.

It's also incomplete, but it's not a dead site. It's updated and growing week by week, and will eventually cover all kinds of stuff. In the meantime I'm adding an average of about one or two pages a week. That's not a lot, but it should be of a reasonable size by about 2012. In fact, in 2012 I plan to be up the Dales for as long as it takes to avoid any mention of the Olympics whatsoever. One day I might even add an accommodation directory where people can review places they've stayed, but that's for the future as and when some of the other things in my currently very busy life drop off.

Lower Barden Reservoir A lot of this site is about walks I really like, and I've tried to illustrate them all with photos. The main reason being that I can't draw for toffee and I thought the Ordnance Survey license agreement was too onerous to accept.

And be warned, I have opinions, so if you're offended because I don't like organised religion, Yorkshire Water,  twee antique shops, poncy gastro pubs serving tiny portions of silly food or assorted other things including Kelda, then please accept a full refund and leave now.

If you like anything on the site, feel free to leave comments on any page or use the contact form, it makes a nice change from the abusive emails I get from folk who live in Scarborough.     Mick 2008

Fantastic site! You've covered some parts of Yorkshire which are very close to my own heart.

I'd love to see you cover the Wolds in the same way!

Any website that celebrates the very existence of the kingdom of Yorkshire is in my book bloody brilliant! For this is the centre of the whole universe, a land flowing with milk and honey and these broad acres are the finest acres in the whole of the British Isles... However, surely we don't want to encourage any of them southern ponces to visit do we?
