		To the north are the North York Moors, and to the east the hills flatten into the plain of Holderness.
		One of nine National Trails in England, the Wolds Way is a long-distance footpath which runs the length of the wolds from the Humber Bridge at Hessle to Filey on the coast.

		Lesser boroughs were Yorkshire isolates; Richmondshire and Allertonshire in the North Riding, Hallamshire in the West Riding and Hullshire in the East Riding.

	ENGLISH NATURE - Special Sites
		In general terms the geology of North Yorkshire comprises a range of sedimentary rocks that slope gently to the east so that the oldest rocks are present in the west of the County and the youngest in the east.
		Much of North Yorkshire was covered by ice during the last glacial of the Quaternary, or Ice Ages, and as a consequence the solid geology is largely covered by layers of glacially derived sediments.
		This rock forms the Yorkshire Wolds and outcrops in the south-east of the County between Thixendale and Hummanby.
