The ultimate insider's guide to Yorkshire for locals and experienced travelers Features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides Part of the international 111 Places/111 Shops series with over 650 titles and 3.8 million copies in print worldwide Appeals to both the local market (more than 5.3 million people call Yorkshire home) and the tourist market (more than 1.3 million people visit Yorkshire every year!) Fully illustrated with 111 full-page color photographs 
They call Yorkshire God's own country. This is because England's biggest county is also England's most epic and most historically exciting. It has everything: unimaginably beautiful countryside, derelict castles, cliff-hugging coastlines, brutally bleak moors, quirkily quaint villages, wondrously winding waterways and industrial monsters of cities. Many of the most interesting episodes in English history have happened here: the Wars of the Roses, the English Civil War, the birth of the industrial revolution, the rise of the Labour movement. But when people think of Yorkshire they also think of the unusual and the unsung: Bettys delightful tea rooms, cricket at Scarborough, the windswept steps of Whitby Abbey, the steam railway of the Railway Children, Mother Shipton's Cave, and racing at Doncaster and York. Yorkshire has also given birth to some of the greatest and most talented figures in English history: Brian Clough, Harold Wilson, John Wycliffe, William Wilberforce, the Brontë Sisters, David Hockney and Barbara Hepworth.

- The ultimate insider's guide to Denver for locals and experienced travelers- Features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides- Part of the international 111 Places/111 Shops series with over 650 titles and 3.8 million copies in print worldwide- Appeals to both the local market (more than 2.9 million people call Denver home) and the tourist market (more than 17.7 million people visit Denver every year!)- Fully illustrated with 111 full-page color photographsThere are 53 mountains in Colorado 14,000 feet or taller -- all within relative striking distance West of the Mile-High City. And vast, unbroken plains stretch East like an ocean. This natural majesty can feel almost spiritual, and Denver is a reflection of this unique environment. The region's cultural, economic, and artistic hub, this singular city is the gateway to the American West. Locals call it New Denver. Alive with possibility, this industrial crossroads has morphed into a hip place for startups and artists, athletes, and breweries. The population is booming, and money and imagination infuse the city with energy. Practical and progressive, Denverites are proudly urban and independent. They ride electric bicycles and line dance at honky-tonks, work on freight trains and attend jazz clubs. But Denver still feels small. Naturally framed by the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, Denver sits comfortably on the banks of the South Platte River. This is, literally, where the buffalo roamed, and many Native American tribes hunted here. Denver's old brick buildings and stately Victorian homes recall the city's founding in 1858 by gold miners and enterprising pioneers. Today's glass-fronted skyscrapers, upscale apartment buildings, and refurbished warehouses cater to people with a ken for reinvention. There's a brightness of spirit here, and Denver remains the place for new beginnings.
