Independent Schools in Yorkshire

North Yorkshire England's largest county covering 3,212 square miles which includes part of the Pennines, the Vale of York, the Cleveland Hills and the North Yorkshire Moors.

The administration centre of the county is to be found in the town of Northallerton, the famous ancient city of York, the resorts of Harrogate, Scarborough and Whitby are just a few more of the main locations in the county.

With a population of just over 700,000 most of North Yorkshire is moorland. This provides the perfect terrain for the traditional agricultural pursuit of Sheep farming although cereal crops, coal mining, dairy production and electrical goods all contribute to the county's coffers. In the boom years Wool from Yorkshire was on a par with Cotton from Lancashire as Britain's biggest export revenue earner. Those days are gone now and the newer industries are taking more of a hold.

The famous cathedral of York Minster is just one of many fine examples of English architecture to be found in this vast county.

Includes places like: North Riding Northallerton, Middlesbrough, Scarborough, Whitby East Riding Beverley, Hull, Bridlington, Driffield, Hornsea, Filey West Riding Wakefield, Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Halifax, Harrogate York within the Walls
