Just a fan of #TDF2025 Here's my story of why I love the Tour de France yorkshirebylines.co.uk/society/reci... @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Rolling hills and patchwork fields divided by traditional dry stone walls in the Yorkshire Dales under a dramatic, cloudy sky. Sheep graze in the foreground, with sunlight highlighting sections of the green farmland.

A public consultation for the draft North Yorkshire & York Local Nature Recovery Strategy is now running until 11 August. And there are a number of events for Dales-based land managers and farmers. Find out more 👇

A winding country road cuts through a lush, rolling landscape of green and golden fields in a rural area. Scattered across the hills are numerous small, stone barns with weathered roofs, enclosed by traditional dry stone walls. The sky above is dramatic, filled with thick, dark clouds hinting at an approaching storm. The scene evokes a peaceful yet moody atmosphere, typical of the Yorkshire Dales

Welcome to the weekend! 🙌 We love this view shared with us by photographer Alec Scott.

If you're in the #YorkshireDales #NationalPark please:

🚮 Take all your litter home
🌊 Stay safe around water

A sweeping view of a sunlit valley in the Yorkshire Dales, featuring gently sloping hills with scattered stone walls and lush green fields; a patch of trees follows the valley floor while rugged moorland rises in the distance under a partly cloudy sky.

Littondale is a classic u-shaped glacial valley off Upper Wharfedale. The shallow River Skirfare meanders across the farmed valley floor and disappears below ground for much of the year north of the hamlet of Litton.
