Swaledale : Valley of the Wild River

Swaledale is one of the most beautiful dales in the North Yorkshire Pennines. This illustrated book reveals, through words, drawings and photographs, the landscape history and archaeology of this much-loved area. Andrew Fleming journeys through the layers of history: earthworks, place-name patterns, ancient walls and cairns on the moors, pollard trees, old maps, footpaths, humps and bumps in the fields, and reveals that the classic Pennine landscape of today holds clues to very different landscapes of the past. Authoritative and highly readable, this is a book for landscape history students and Yorkshire enthusiasts alike.
