This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. HE ancient town of Skipton is called Skiptonin-Craven, to distinguish the capital of the district from Skipton-on-Swale, a place of very minor importance. The first syllable of Skipton is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word signifying "Sheep." Whitaker, frequently at guess-work in his derivatives, is correct here. In the Roman times, as we know historically, England was the granary of north-western Europe. Our southern, south-east, and central counties, not only produced sufficient grain for home consumption, but exported largely. The Saxons destroyed the civilization which was brought in by the Romans. Even agriculture was abandoned, along with viticulture, which also prevailed to a considerable extent, among the ancient Britons. Savages depend more on animal food, than on cereals. Cattle could be easily transferred from one district to another; even in days when the drover could not be put aside for a vehicle of any description. Our climate--we speak here of Craven-- is peculiarly favourable to cattle breeding. It is by no means so for the culture of cereals, unless science be called in aid; and there was not much science in Britain's Saxon days! The people, principally fed on pigs or wild boars; an indigenous race that abounded in the woods, where they still retain possession, as anyone who has visited some of our old forests is aware. These hardy brutes flourished from Norway to the Equator. From the tenth to the fifteenth century, sheep began to supplant the pigs, and to form the wealth of the country. Their flesh fed the people, and their wool clothed them, forming a becoming substitute for the cutical pictorialism of the Aboriginal Britons! One of our waggish friends suggests, that the horns of the rams would be...

This new, thoroughly updated edition of Yorkshire Dales, part of Bradt's series of distinctive 'Slow' guides to local UK regions, remains the most comprehensive guide to the area and covers the whole of the recently extended Yorkshire Dales National Park and Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as well as some 'slow' and historic towns and villages just outside the boundaries. Dale by dale, each chapter covers wildlife, folklore, history and local food and drink, and suggests routes to follow to see the best of it all. Walking and cycling are included, as well as all the attractions and advice needed for a memorable visit. Written by an expert who has lived and worked in the area for over 30 years, the guide draws from his personal experiences as an outdoor enthusiast, naturalist and beer connoisseur. The Yorkshire Dales is famous internationally for its caves, scenic rivers, waterfalls and limestone flora but the lives and culture of the Dales folk that live there are just as fascinating. These days the area is also known for the Tour de Yorkshire, now firmly established as a hugely popular annual cycling event. Ease the pace and discover the delights of the north Pennines, where rivers from the limestone uplands have forged the dales that give the region its name. Drop in to the Tan Hill Inn, the highest pub in Britain, where sheep regularly find their way in to warm themselves by the roaring fire; journey into the depths of Gaping Gill, one of the largest underground chambers in Britain; or take a scenic rail trip on the famous Settle-Carlisle line, crossing the longest railway viaduct in the country at Ribblehead en route. The Yorkshire Dales offer hundreds of square miles of open-access land to explore, popular long-distance footpaths including the Pennine Way and Coast to Coast Walk, renowned medieval castles such as Skipton and Richmond, quaint stone villages and an exceptionally rich wildlife particularly associated with clean rivers and limestone-pavement flora. Discover all this and more with Bradt's Slow Travel Yorkshire Dales, the perfect companion for a successful trip.
