There are a lot of abandoned mills along the canals, which are all broken down and empty, but ivy has grown over the machinery and up the walls, which is beautiful. Even the big cities are completely surrounded by the natural world. The lost and forgotten industries still make up a huge part of the county, Yorkshire embraces both its old and new, creating a space where simply anything is possible.

Yorkshire towns include the best of both worlds, the town centres are crowded with life, plenty of shops on the high street and enough entertainment for everyone but within walking distance there is art and culture and little places, like ponds and waterfalls that you could overlook if you simply drove past. Yes, it\u2019s true that it rains more in the north, but while rain in a city makes everything sombre, rain in nature makes everything thrive.
