ISBN: 9781904434955
Published: October 2010
Author: David Gerrard

First published in 1990, this is the 10th edition of the Hidden Places of Yorkshire which has an attractive new cover of the ruins of Whitby Abbey and redesigned page layouts. Editorially, the new style has continued Travel Publishing’s commitment to exploring the more interesting, unusual or unique places of interest in Yorkshire. In this respect we would like to thank the Tourist Information Centres in Yorkshire for helping us update the editorial content of the book.
As the title implies, this guide - a book to be read as well as used - is dedicated to promoting the more secluded and little known places of interest that are easy to miss unless you know exactly where you are going.
The county of Yorkshire is full of scenic, historical and cultural diversity. In the northwest are the picturesque Dales with its varied scenery of peat moorland, green pastureland and scattered woods intersected by the numerous brooks, streams and rivers. To the northeast are the imposing Yorkshire Moors, the rich agricultural Vale of York, the chalky hills of the Wolds and the dramatic storm-tossed coastline. In the south are the industrial and commercial cities and towns, which have made such a major contribution to our industrial and cultural heritage. This handy-sized book is an invaluable guide to those wishing to explore the historic county of Yorkshire.
The York and County Press described the previous edition "as covering every corner of the county, promising new discoveries and snippets of information for even the best travelled of Yorkshire folk."

The Telegraph & Argus reviews the book and adds:

Specific places of interest, including Bolling Hall and Haworth’s Brontë Parsonage, are featured in a chapter at the end of the guide providing details of historic houses, museums and gardens, as well as pubs, teashops, cafes, restaurants and places to stay. (Emma Clayton)
