Excerpt from Northern Roses
A visit to the Vale of Pickering would also ensure to the curious traveller an opportunity of becoming acquainted with many celebrated places, rich in historical interest; such as mansions of the great, castles of legendary fame, ruined monasteries, and many other objects of attraction, with the old city of York on one hand, once the metropolis of the north and all that high range of hill and cliff fene ing off the bold waves of the German Ocean on the east, where Scarborough, in its rocky ramparts, sits like a Queen upon her throne.

Excerpt from Northern Roses, Vol. 1 of 3: A Yorkshire Story
If, gentle reader, you have never seen that fertile and favoured portion of England known by the comprehensive name of the Vale of Pickering, I cannot do better than recommend you to make it the scene of your next midsummer excursion.
From the pretty poetical name of vale, you may very reasonably suppose that the designation belongs, in this instance, as in so many others, to a circumscribed valley enclosed between hills.
