(Historic)

Map Reference: (53.970342, -1.002114)

Yorkshire is a maritime county in the north of England, the largest county of them all by far. It stretches from the North Sea coast deep into and over the Pennine Mountains, and from the River Tees to the Humber and further south inland. It encompasses empty moorland and crowded conurbations, high fells and low plains. It is a county with a strong character and identity of its own. Since the Viking era, Yorkshire has been divided into three ridings, whose boundaries meet at the walls of the ancient city of York.
