Skipton, in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, has a plexus of small valleys but is almost ringed by heather moors. This illustrated book relates Skipton to the Craven district, an area of outstanding natural beauty which has the largest outcrop of limestone in the country. It is useful for local historians and the region's many visitors.
The late W.R. MITCHELL MBE D.Litt, was an authority on his native Yorkshire whose history and topography he studied for over fifty years. Born in Skipton, he began a career in journalism with the Craven Herald & Pioneer in 1943 and was invited in 1948 by Harry Scott, founder of The Dalesman, to join him on the magazine, which he subsequently edited for many years until he retired in 1988. He was the author of well over a hundred books about Yorkshire and the Lake District, including the bestseller The Story of the Yorkshire Dales.
