    I'm lucky enough to live beside the river close to the city of Chester which is handy as I am of the general opinion that outdoors beats indoors for most activities.Hopefully you have enjoyed some of my writing and may do so again.

      CHAPTER ONE

      NORTHALLERTON, BEDALE & INGLEBY ARNCLIFFE

      Northallerton is the county town of North Yorkshire, situated on the route between London and Edinburgh it has an impressive selection of visitor attractions.

      Start out from the northern end of the High Street and walk towards the town centre.

      Set back on the left-hand side just past Quaker Lane is an elongated U-shaped building. Today this curved-fronted structure is the New Life Baptist Church (1), but used to be the Lyric Cinema that showed films from 1939 starting off with a Gracie Fields number and finally closing in 1995 with Harrison Ford in The Fugitive.

Continue past the Methodist Church, following the High street, and look up to see the unusually tall chimneys on the next building. You will soon realise that the town has a goodly collection of blue-plaque buildings but be sure to get a little further down the A167 to see the imposing exterior of the Station Hotel building that originally provided accommodation for visitors to the long-gone racecourse over the road where the County Hall now stands.

      After a look around the town, follow the A167 north out of Northallerton for two miles where you will find the Battle of the Standard monument (4) on the east side if
