Summary "Yorkshire—Coast and Moorland Scenes" by Gordon Home is a descriptive travelogue written in the early 20th century, specifically in the years surrounding 1904. This work chronicles Home's personal impressions and explorations of the scenic beauty and cultural heritage found along the coast and moorlands of Yorkshire. The author shares vivid descriptions of various locations, capturing the landscapes, towns, and local lore, aiming to provide readers with an immersive experience of the region’s natural splendor. The opening of the book sets the stage for an enchanting journey, beginning with a detailed introduction that clarifies the scope of the work—it does not encompass all of Yorkshire but focuses on the northeastern part of the county, particularly the coastline and nearby moors. Home introduces the ancient town of Pickering as a gateway to the moors while contrasting the present-day railway experiences with the history and charm of the area. He depicts a landscape of steep gradients, lonely cottages, and heavy woods, filled with a sense of isolation and tranquility. The narrative also weaves in folklore, such as superstitions and local tales, enriching the exploratory adventure through atmospheric prose and inviting readers to appreciate the striking interplay between nature, history, and culture in this beautiful region of England.
