About this book
Good roads, open moors and the freedom to reach an abbey before the crowds shape Mrs. Rodolph Stawell's account of motoring through Yorkshire. Her routes cover the dales, the coast, old churches, York and the south of the county. Distances and comments on road surfaces sit beside descriptions of stone villages, wooded valleys and steep passes, giving the practical business of driving a place in the landscape.
At Skipton, the castle becomes an entrance into the history of the Clifford family, including Anne Clifford's work of repair and restoration. Farther along, Hackness offers quiet while the Forge Valley draws summer visitors. Stawell notices architecture, local associations and the changing character of a road as readily as scenery. Readers interested in Yorkshire or the habits of early motorists will find a travel account that links the pleasure of movement with close attention to particular places.
