Each valley or ‘dale’ has its own distinct character, set against expansive heather moorland tops. Stone-built villages sit among traditional farming landscapes of field barns, drystone walls and flower-rich hay meadows. Spectacular waterfalls and ancient broad-leaf woodland contrast with the scaered remains of former mine workings and other rural industries, which remind us of the area’s rich industrial heritage. Together, nature and people have created a special landscape of immense beauty and character to which artists are drawn for inspiration Conistone Bridge John White For more information, visit www.yorkshiredales.org.uk DALES 6 1 CAROLINE DUNN 2 MICHAEL KUSZ Caroline makes wall hangings, framed pieces, and Michael creates sculptures from recycled materials, artists’ books, using dyed and printed silk, appliqued mainly copper.
