A collection of some of the most beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in England. As featured on a full-length DVD "Yorkshire Dales A Landscape of Longing" available from Play.com, Amazon.co.uk.
Audrey Brown Your comment just touched my heart greatly! I’m a Texan, but lived there 4 years and only back moved home to the Lone Star State two years ago. I’ll never feel peace as I did in that lovely, lovely place.
As some one who lives and works dry stone walling in this glorious little corner of the world I can't tell you how lucky I feel come rain or shine to be in this landscape.
I moved out of Yorkshire and now I'm back. I love it here. The dales is a place I have visited often since childhood, in the snow, rain or shine. its where the heart lies.
The Lake District might have more dramatic scenery with their mountains and lakes, but from south of Huddersfield to the northern fringes of the county, the Yorkshire Dales and the quaint villages of sandstone in the south Pennies to the limestone villages towards the north Pennines, this part of England has something very special that creates a unique atmosphere.
Have just bought this DVD for my Dad for Father's Day. We all spent a week in Swaledale at the end of May and had a great time. Well done on an excellent production!
Live in South America which has some far more dramatic scenery but the Dales is outstanding for charming beauty. It mixes character, warmth and wildness in the right measure; not twee like the Cotswolds. Glencoe is great but diferent; it is less human. As the video says, the presence of man is important to the charm of the Yorshire Dales. Truly unique, beautiful place.
Had holidays in dales for 40 years. Just bought a static, so will be there even more. Dales my second home. Never tire of visiting. My ashes will be scattered at aysgarth waterfalls.
Beautiful County. Lucky to live close by in good old Lancashire. Went up Ingleborough, one of the three peaks yesterday please feel free to have a look if you fancy, was stunning. Yorkshire Dales - Ascent of Ingleborough (2,372 ft)
An outstanding film by any standards. Expertly put together, well narated without having a tv personality forced upon us. You deserve to sell many DVDs of this and I hope you make more films of this quality.
Yorkshire born but I've been a long way (Ohio) from home for a long LONG time (20 years). Thank you for posting. BOY! What I'd give to be in Grassington/Whitby/Denby/ now.
Ever since reading the James Herriot books when I was young I`ve had an overwhelming urge to see the Dales, possibly the most beautiful place on earth and coming from a Canadian thats saying something!! I hope I get the chance to visit someday. Sooo Beautiful!!
Beautiful. I've always loved and dreamt of the English countryside ever since learning of my ancestral roots in Yorkshire. Have only ever been to London, though....Northwest London, at that. :::sighs::: Would LOVE to see the dales....and the moors....one day....

Thank you for your comments. We do have a film with only music showing the beautiful Yorkshire countryside . Have a look for "DVD Postcard: Relaxing Yorkshire" on our website.
omg i want to go there sooooooooo badddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
Why do some people insist on describing distances in metres or kilometres ; we still use the imperial , rather than the metric system when describing longer linear distances . Show me a signpost in the UK , that gives a distance in kilometres or metres , rather than miles or yards !
Reading thru the comments it seems everyone is keen to say how friendly Yorkshire people are but also to say how much they hate southerners. Is that not a bit of a contradiction.
We have been making DVD films for 12 years and our viewers prefer a clearly spoken voiceover, uncorrupted by regional accents which some people such as hard of hearing or overseas vistors find difficult to understand. The narrator is in fact from Oldham in Lancashire, and certainly not a 'snotty southerner' as you put it, so I am not sure why you can hear a southern accent?
I'm on Long Island NY. I have been watching this show on Netflix called All Creatures Great and Small. It's setting is in Yorkshire in a fictitious town called Daraby. They often refer to the Dales on the show. I wanted to find out what the Dales refers to. Very pretty area. The show reminds me of the American Lassie TV show. I like the bygone era where no cursing is heard and no shagging seen. Better keep the Muslims away from the Dales or they will slaughter the sheep! AHAHAHAHAH
Gabriella Crociata Hi. I loved this show growing up. The town of darrowby is filmed in the real dales town of askrigg. The drovers arms is a real pub actually called the kings arms(great food) And the veterinary practice, skaledale house, is still on the highstreet and is a b&b at which I've stayed. If your interested in ever coming to yorkshire why don't you stay there? The dales is the most beatiful place in England.
In 1014 Sveinn Tveskegg (Forkbeard) conquered England and was briefly King. His son Knut consolidated his conquest and arguably became England's greatest monarch. England was joined to Denmark and Norway as the central part of a North Sea empire which lasted for thirty five years.
@MrMattysmith83 Sorry to say you are slightly... incorrect with your choice of wording, the state of the art literature, the magnificent writers and of course, your majesty, the queen, mostly originates from London. I would strongly suggest watching your choice of wording, "down south" involves a hell of a lot of people, insulting quite a lot of people on your own isn't a very smart act. Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, I seriously doubt God came from Yorkshire, Sorry.
