The Ryedale district of North Yorkshire holds many picturesque villages and the historic market towns of Malton, Pickering, Kirby Moorside and Helmsley set amidst a beautiful countryside. Heather moors, chalk downland, small dales and broad valleys offer a contrasting scene of open land and gentle hills. In this setting, from country mansions to cottages, castles to cruck houses people have lived for thousands of years. The local historian John Rushton, traces the changing experience throughout the centuries, of a people as varied and full of character as any. Many things have happened in the Ryedale countryside which extends between Scarborough and York.
