About the Book

The northernmost of the Yorkshire Dales, Swaledale can well claim to be the most beautiful; certainly to be the wildest and most romantic. It is, a local writer claimed 'as close to Heaven as you get on Earth' and it has been celebrated by Yorkshiremen and others for over two hundred years. Stretching from the wilds around Muker and remote Arkengarthdale, through a landscape once scarred by lead mining, but now marked out by regular grey field walls and barns, and picturesque villages, to the splendour of Richmond with its great Medieval castle and its graceful eighteenth century bridge, theatre and houses, Swaledale is the classic Yorkshire dale, and here is a photographic portrait of it in all seasons and all weathers by a local photographer,

About the Author :
Roly Smith is a freelance writer, editor and consultant and the author of over 60 books on walking and the countryside. He was recently dubbed 'Mr Peak District' by his local newspaper. Based in Bakewell in the heart of the Peak, Roly was formerly Head of Information Services to the Peak District National Park -- Britain's busiest -- before taking voluntary early retirement in 1997 to concentrate on his freelance career. Previous to that, he enjoyed a 20-year award-winning career in journalism. He was chairman of the Outdoor Writers' and Photographers' Guild from 1990 to 2002 and was made an honorary life member in 2005. Mike Kipling comes from Scarborough, and having studied town planning at Newcastle University, became Assistant Area Planning Officer at Richmond. But in 1996 he decided to become a photographer, and now has one of the largest practices in the north of England where his work is widely published. He lives in Guisborough, Cleveland.

Review :
Roly's passion for Swaledale is evident in his colourful words. He outlines graphically some of his favourite views all lavishly photographed by Mike Kipling. Dalesman A magnificent celebration of the dale. Darlington & Stockton Times Publisher Frances Lincoln has produced another fine coffee-table book in the form of 'Swaledale'. Cavers who are already under the spell of the Yorkshire Dales will know of Swaledale's classic, wild beauty; turning pages here, others might gain an introduction. Descent Lush meadows, frowning crags and tough Swaledale sheep feature in this beautiful tribute to the wildest of the Yorkshire Dales. Living An affectionate photographic celebration of this classic Yorkshire landscape. Living North For those of us who have regularly walked in this part of the Yorkshire Dales, it is a nostalgic journey to old haunts whilst for those who have not yet experienced the delights of Swaledale, it is a superb appetiser of treats in store.
