COMING UP IN THE AUGUST ISSUE OF DALESMAN

In August's magazine we recall the last British Rail steam train to run on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, back in 1968.

We stride the ten rivers walk, a unique challenge from Richmond to Settle.

There's a look at Yorkshireman's hopes of saving the rare Cleveland Bay horse.

On the coast we delve into the murky world of smuggling.

We also take the winch into the remarkable Gaping Gill system, and elsewhere search the forest of Knaresborough for ancient boundary stones.

In Teesdale we meet a man who is determined to celebrate Yorkshire Day despite being 'outside' the county.

The August issue will be on sale on 25th July £1.99. Don’t miss out, order a copy from your newsagent or call us to take out a subscription on 01756 701033.
