The largest, most distinctive region of England with proud traditions and a distinctive, definite flavour all of its own. Between the mountains and the sea are large urban and industrial areas, like the West Riding, but the region also boasts impressive historical centres like York and some inspiring areas of outstanding natural beauty. Drawing from this culture and scenery is a very long list of memorable and popular films and TV programmes that seem to be at the heart of 'Englishness'.
