Here’s to the landscapes, the history, the legends, and of course the tea, that make Yorkshire the region it is. Have a great Yorkshire Day. With best wishes from all the team here at History and Heritage Yorkshire.

Discovered in 1837, the year of Queen Victoria's coronation, Victoria Cave near Langcliffe has since provided a major archaeological record of climate change in the Yorkshire Dales over thousands of years. The cave was forgotten for many years but was rediscovered in the 30s
