Excerpt from Romantic Richmondshire: Being a Complete Account of the History, Antiquities and Scenery of the Picturesque Valleys of the Swale and Yore The greater part of the area I have dealt with ranges in altitude from about 500 feet to 1200 feet above normal sea level, whilst many of the hills and peaks ascend to 2000 feet and upwards. The higher parts of the dales consist of wide sweeps of heathery moorland - comprising some of the best grouse tracts in England - and from many a neighbouring summit are to be had wide and magnificent prospects. In the lower grounds are the villages, farmsteads, and mansions of the gentry, the land being usually rich and pastoral, also abounding in flowery glades and rocky glens musical with laughing rills or resounding with the thunder of crashing cascades. Much else, too, will be found to interest the visitor, especially the lover of antiquities. The district is peculiarly rich in mediaeval architecture, apparent in many an ample fortress, parish church, ruined abbey, and other religious edifice, about which much that is new and interesting has been related in the work. An instance may be cited of the old Knights Templars' Hospice and Chapel on the slopes of Penhill, whereof nothing hitherto has been recorded.
