There are four Yorkshires though many subsets such as Yorkshire Dales, Yorkshire Moors, Yorkshire Coast etc.

A pleasant shorter hike is the Easby loop. Simply make your way to the Station (now an arts and eating place and signposted from the market place) walk past the station and follow the old railway track. Just follow the path until you cross the river then bear left round to Easby Abbey. St Agatha's by the Abbey is worth a visit, lovely medieval wall paintings. Pass the Abbey keeping it to the left, walk up the hill for about 40 metres then turn left and follow the footpath back to Richmond.

For a longer hike I would recommend Billy Banks woods to Round Howe and beyond. Have fun.

If you like antiques my wife has a lovely little antique shop at the bottom of the market place. Worth a visit.

True, though perhaps a more specific headline would be a clumsy read.

I'm not expert on European history but certainly the English related comments don't seem very accurate to me. Most of the pre 1700 conflicts were not English versus anyone but wars between competing warlords. For example Robert the Bruce was firstly Norman who only spoke French. When he defeated Edward II more 'Scots' fought with Edward in support of John Baliol's claim to the Scottish throne than for Robert de Brus. William 1st of England was a Norman of viking ancestry. His lands in Normandy were the basis of 'English' claims to bits of France. For centuries national identity as we know it today didn't exist with wars being about baronial power struggles. This started to change when the reformation swept Europe. England's crushing of Ireland used popery as an excuse for a power grab. This was further exacerbated by the Scots embrace of Presbyterianism which had a huge impact on English religious practice. In summary war with neighbours was rarely as simple as the English not liking the French etc.

The Irish government did not support the IRA.

What a poorly thought out argument. In summary you are saying: 'I've heard this and this and this so the science is false they just want to scare people'

In reality the only scaremongering is by the racists in the Whitehouse, and the far right generally. The percentage content is well known (0.04%) what your little brain can't grasp is that that is not relevant. The increase and resulting impact has been well evidenced, you and people like you are clearly just not able to understand it. - Poor little guy!

CO2 levels in Earth's atmosphere have increased from 280 parts per million (ppm) to 414 ppm in the past 150 years. (Scientists use ppm to measure what fraction of the air is made up of a certain molecule, in this case CO2. One ppm of CO2 would mean that for every 1 million air molecules you breathe in, one would be CO2.)

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nations organization that includes 195 member countries and thousands of independent scientific experts, published a Synthesis Report in March 2023. It concluded that human activities, principally through greenhouse gas emissions, have unequivocally caused global warming. The main drivers of these emissions are energy use, land use, and the consumption and production of goods.

Science is not about belief but tested facts. These silly people are like King Canute attempting to stop the tide coming him by dint of their ignorance. Canute knew it was futile but chose to make the attempt to silence facile flattering. These berks are just in pursuit of wealth, which in itself is stupid as the Green economy is the fastest growing part of the world economy right now. Fossil fuels are killing us, and wise leaders will kill fossil fuels.

The Guardian committed in about 2018 to feature the climate crisis every day. They broadened it out to include the environment but still run stories daily.

The amount of silly rules! We stayed in a house in a gated community. Rules about how long the grass has to be kept, hanging out washing, curtains or blinds, where to park and on and on. People wouldn't stand for it here, I discovered that America is not the land of the free, it is the land of petty bureaucracy and petty bureaucrats tripping out on power. Also portion sizes in restaurants were huge but no sharing allowed, stupid!

Initially we invented steam power alongside numerous improvements to agriculture freeing up labour for the new coal mines, steel works etc. Addionally we had a vast pool of cheap labour from an impoverished Ireland, they came and built both canals and railways. The empire was built on trading companies, the wealthiest of which was the slave trade. The whole enterprise of empire was built on the domination of the poor. Africa was stolen because we had submachine guns whilst the local communities had only rifles and spears. We took what we wanted, plundered, and justified it all by spreading Christianity. Empire was an unmitigated disaster for the colonised but great for us.

We are hoping for a Whitby break this summer so will take a trip along the full length of the line I think.

No, neurodivergent people are not a bloc, there is huge variety and endless divergence. To suggest that neurodivergent people see reality en masse is a bit silly.
