A nature lover's paradise lays in wait for a mother and daughter enjoying a day's excursion on the North York Moors. This idyllic amateur film shows the landscape at its late-summer best, in sun-drenched purples and greens. Among the bell-heather and whortleberries, the moors reveal their well-kept secrets: ancient burial grounds, wandering becks, the timeless moorland village of Castleton, Beggar's Bridge at Glaisdale, the well-trodden Roman Road at Wheeldale Moor and, nestled between the moors and the North Sea, the red roofs and fishing boats of Whitby.
The North York Moors became a national park in 1952 - two years after this film was shot - and is one of the largest expanses of heather moorland in the country.
