Recently I've been reading: a book that explains why the landscape of Yorkshire is the way it is, and a weighty tome on England: "A Celebration of the Commonplace, the Local, the Vernacular and the Distinctive." |
 
The Yorkshire Countryside: A Landscape History by Richard Muir |
 
|
|
Less weighty, but just as good - the well-designed Jarrold guide, and an engaging study of Northern architecture. |
 
|
 
Northern Pride - from churches to chip shops |
Books I refer to often - one a pocket-sized reference book on many aspects of York, the other a standard work of reference on local architecture (not pocket-sized). |
 
The York Book |
 
Yorkshire: York and the East Riding (Pevsner Buildings of England) |
|
Maps for anyone exploring the local area - a work of art, these things. |
 
|
 
|
|
More guides to walks in Yorkshire - I don't have these yet but if they're a similar format to the Vale of York one above, then they're bound to be good. |
 
Vale of York and the Yorkshire Wolds: Walks (Pathfinder Guide) |
 
|
|
These two are an inspiration for walks in York, and Beyond the Bars in particular was referred to often. |
