Yorkshire History

Our Yorkshire history pages presently focus on North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and the City of York. North Yorkshire has three distinct regions – the dales country of the Pennines to the west; the vales of Mowbray and York at its centre stretching all the way from York to the Tees and to the east the North York Moors which stretch to the coastal cliffs of the sea. Most of the rivers make their way to the Humber river in East Yorkshire that was once the southern boundary of the great Kingdom of Northumbria.
