Each A Dales Gem
50 Gems of the Yorkshire Dales is now with the publisher and is set to be released at the back end of May.
You will be able to order the book in my shop and also from all the usual book outlets.
Two of the Gems are featured in this news item – the main image is from a waterfall near Dent and the second the wonderful Malham Tarn. Both images will also be available as prints in the shop soon.
It is a book I really enjoyed putting together and I hope you like it too. It dominated the back end of 2014 for me but comes from a lifetime’s affection with the Dales. Each Gem is a personal favourite and I’m sure people will find out something new about their special places too.
THIS is probably the highlight of the book for me and you can see more of the Gems here.
