*  These web pages describe, mainly with picture views of walking scenes around Sutton Bank on the North Yorkshire Moors. The text is deliberately short, no full guide is intended, but I hope the pictures covey the beauty of walking and visiting this area of England and other beautiful and interesting areas nearby. They are based on five walks from the North York Moors National Park Visitor Centre at Sutton Bank where you can purchase a copy of a booklet describing these five walks in detail with maps, but an "OS Explorer Map OL 26 North York Moors - Western Area" is a great geographical and navigational help if necessary.  *  Enjoy the walking in the countryside this lovely and interesting area of Northern England where there are lots of places to visit, varied walking holiday landscapes and no shortage of accommodation with warm and friendly hospitality. *  page updated April 22nd 2008  *  EMAIL Phil Brown    *  Images-photographs-pictures-photos-webshots-snapshots © Dr W P Brown 2007 * If you are interested in using any of the photographs email me, but any image used must involve permission and acknowledgement   *
