The Yorkshire Dales National Park is a showcase for some of the finest limestone scenery in Europe. Covering 683 square miles, it can be divided naturally into a number of areas, each with its own character.
Perhaps the most famous of these is the area widely known as the Three Peaks, much of which is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Three Peaks lie on the western fringe of the National Park and consist of the mountains of Whernside (2414 ft), Ingleborough (2373 ft) and Pen-y-Ghent (2273 ft).
In this stunning book, photographer Andy Standfield, who has known the area most of this life, captures the ever-changing seasons of a year in the life of the Three Peaks.

Bradford Telegraph & Argus Andy's passion for the Yorkshire countryside comes out in his colourful photographs and inspires the inner hiker in you to take a trip to the Dales. Westmorland Gazette A landscape worths spending time appreciating. Worth a year, at least. Yorkshire Post The great joy is the fact that the photographer loves the landscape they are capturing and it shows in the stunning photos. Irish Mountain Log Nothing can be more calculated to stir the photographer's blood than the fastness of the north, and Stansfield does his subject full justice. This England
