Vale of York

The Vale of York is a lowland area of northern England between the Pennines and the North York Moors, drained by the Ouse and its tributaries. Its fertile farmland made it the core of Roman, Anglian and Viking settlement around York, and the main road from London to Scotland ran along it.
