It has been my privilege to live in Bilsdale for over 40 years.  The North York Moors are fantastic.  Shortly before I retired from local government, I was elected by the western Parish Councils to become a Member of the National Park Authority where I am currently Deputy Chair. Bilsdale has a fascinating history.  I have been an active member of the Bilsdale Local History Group and have contributed to three books, including the recently published “Bilsdale Remembered”.  I enjoy walking across the moors, experiencing the varied landscapes, seeing the wildlife and always return feeling more relaxed but tired.  I would encourage you to visit and enjoy this wonderful dale.
