My own favorite country,perhaps because I knew it as a boy,is that of the Yorkshire Dales.For variety of landscape,these Dales cannot be matched on this island or anywhere else. A day's walk among them will give you almost everything fit to be seen on this earth. Within a few hours, you will enjoyed the green valleys,with their rivers,fine old bridges,pleasant villages,hanging woods,smooth fields;then the moorland slopes,with rushing streams,stone walks,salty winds,white farmhouse;and then the lonely heights,which seem to be miles above the ordinary world,and moorland tracks as remote,it seems,as trails in Mongolia.Yet less than an hour in a fast motor will bring you to the middle of a manufacturing town.
