View Full Version : What's the most beautiful spot in Yorkshire little malc 18-03-2004, 11:01 Since we retired to Scarborough, we keep finding new and interesting places to visit, Yorkshire seems to have more magnificent areas than just about anywhere else in the country. What is your favorite place in Yorkshire? Jayne 18-03-2004, 11:06 I was going to say the top of Mam Tor but then I remembered that it's in Derbyshire! So apart from the view from the bole hills which I love, and the view from the top of the lane opposite the bell hagg, I would have to say that Malham Cove is pretty spectacular. jackthedog 18-03-2004, 11:17 I was going to say Malham Cove too! Nice one Jayne! :) Agent Orange 18-03-2004, 11:19 Brammall Lane :D fnkysknky 18-03-2004, 11:56 Originally posted by Dick Dastardly Brammall Lane :D I prefer Bramall Lane myself ;) Agent Orange 18-03-2004, 12:02 Originally posted by fnkysknky I prefer Bramall Lane myself ;) And so do I :D All that Guinness from last night is hampering my ability to spell!! fnkysknky 18-03-2004, 12:04 Guiness - it's a meal in a glass :) mikey 18-03-2004, 13:33 South Yorkshire Fox House area - I think its still in S Yorks Toads Mouth Surprise View Yorkshire Malham Cove or Ilkley Moor jackthedog 18-03-2004, 13:36 Originally posted by mikey South Yorkshire Fox House area - I think its still in S Yorks Toads Mouth Surprise View Not familiar with toads mouth, but I'm sure the other two are in Derbyshire...? /pedantry mikey 18-03-2004, 13:39 Aye Ok you pedant But its Sheffield's back garden Jayne 18-03-2004, 13:41 the view from stanage pole is nice too, sure that's still South Yorkshire?? Robin Hoods Bay is also lovely jackthedog 18-03-2004, 13:49 I was also gonna say Stanage Pole too (great minds think alike and all that) but I wasnt convinced that it is still in Yorkshire. Dunno where the boundary lies, but I do think it's in Derbyshire. Stanage edge is definately in Derbyshire, and the pole is but a stones' throw away... almost literally... Jayne 18-03-2004, 14:09 it this link works: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?X=425000&Y=385000&width=700&height=400&client=public&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&scale=100000&out.x=1&out.y=11 (not going to is it) looks like the boundary is just to the west of stanage pole so it would make the pole in south yorkshire pedantic enough?
