On Sunday Marian and I hopped in the car and drove to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, about one and a half hours' drive north of Manchester.
We parked at the village of Grassington, and took a really scenic and quite gentle walk through the pretty countryside to the village of Burnsall, where we had a delicious lunch at the Red Lion Hotel.
The scenery was beautiful; the villages and rolling hills, with their drystone walls, were right out of "All Creatures Great and Small" (as an aside, the town of Darrowby in the famous books by James Herriot doesnt actually exist, but is largely based on the village of Thirsk where Herriot - real name Alf Wight - lived and practiced).
