Yorkshire-dales The Dales are rightly esteemed mainly for their scenery but they have their share of historical sights. Jervaulx Abbey is within the National Park and the famous and extensive Fountains Abbey is only just outside. Middleham castle was the home of warwick the Kingmaker for a time and after him it was owned by his son-in-law, Richard III, the Shakespearian villain cursed even by his other but still enjoying a society to proclaim his innocence. Much more recently lead mining has left many remains over much of the landscape.
