Opinion We must look after God’s creation Martin Upton has been experiencing the wonders of North Yorkshire, and reflects on the need for us all to take responsibility for the world we live in. We have just come back from last year’s holiday! It was held over because of.....! We stayed in a farm cottage in the North York Moors, pictured above. Fortunately the cottage had decent heating - heating which we wouldn’t have needed last May! It is an amazing area, with abundant wildlife - red kites and red grouse for example, the North York Moors Railway, Whitby Abbey, and fish and chips, the glorious views of moors and dales, industrial archaeology, the Rosedale ironstone workings and railway, streams and waterfalls (all full), and hills to climb - Roseberry Topping is superlative (but steep) and its western side is its present shape as a result of collapsed mine workings. There are historical sites, James Cook came from the area, and some spectacular walks, once you got used to the up, followed by more up. Our Norfolk legs were just about acclimatising when it was time to come home.
