Today is #WestRidingDay. The #WestRiding of #Yorkshire is the largest, most populous of the three ridings and the Riding with the greatest internal contrast. The flag features a ‘rose-en-soleil’ device first used by Edward IV. 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #CountyDays 🏴
The #WestRiding of Yorkshire consists of a largely urban south and a rural north. Some of the loveliest of the #Yorkshire Dales are in the West Riding, including Nidderdale and Wharfedale. The West Riding stretches out as far as Sedbergh. 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #CountyDays 🏴
@RealCounties @AnthonySmithPhD So Knaresborough was in the west riding?
@RealCounties Silly question, but why isn’t there a South Riding?
@RealCounties @davidpendleton0 York not part of any of the Ridings?
