From the Editor

One of Yorkshire’s many great assets is the diversity of its countryside. From the bleakness of the Pennine moors to the greenery and contrasts of the limestone Dales; the rolling beauty of the Wolds to the breathtaking cliffs of the coast; the hidden treasures of the North York Moors and the vastness of the Vale of York… and I’ve not yet mentioned even half the region. Yorkshire certainly is a country within a county. But then, being a Dalesman reader you already knew that, didn’t you?

This month we cover as much of our vast area as is physically possible in one issue, and hopefully introduce you to Yorkshire places and people you were previously unaware of. But just where does our county start and finish? You can join in this month's debate on the Yorkshire boundary by emailing your thoughts to editorial@dalesman.co.uk

A big welcome, too, this month to Barnsley’s Ian McMillan who joins us on a regular basis for a sideways look at us Yorkshire folk.

And the final countdown to the 2008 Yorkshire Rural Awards has begun. In the May issue we reveal the shortlist from which the winners will be chosen later this month.
