Yorkshire Dales Countryside in Winter with Snow

There is beauty in the architecture of the rural landscape. It is hard to imagine the Yorkshire Dales without dry stone walls, now such an iconic sight and inspiration for local poets, photographers and artists alike. An unfathomable network of walls criss-crossing and connecting the hills and fields they support biodiversity and theintricate gaps and crevices within the walls provide a habitat for various plants and animals, including mosses, ferns, insects, voles, and nesting birds.
