Yorkshire Moors

Brontë country landscape

The Yorkshire Moors are expansive upland areas in northern England, characterized by rolling heather-covered hills, peat bogs, and sparse vegetation.

The landscape is wild and windswept, famously evoked in *Wuthering Heights*.

The North York Moors form a national park; the term sometimes includes adjacent moorland regions.

We hiked across the Yorkshire Moors in autumn when the heather was purple.
