Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The North Yorkshire Moors and Cleveland Hills comprise a well-defined area of upland lying between the Tees Lowlands in the north, the Vale of Pickering in the south and the Vale of Mowbray in the west. To the east, the area borders the North Sea. About a quarter of the area comprises high moorland, 20% is wooded (split evenly between broadleaved woods and conifers) and 54% is agricultural. Of the area, 85% lies within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, and 30% is designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
