Mother Shipton’s Cave is rich with 500 years of history, and has a story to tell. The supposed birthplace of England’s most famous prophetess, Ursula Shipton, the Cave is nestled within the forest of Knaresborough. Nearby is England’s oldest visitor attraction – The Petrifying Well. With water so rich in sulphate and carbonate, you can watch objects turn to stone in a matter of months. Nature or witchcraft?

Spurn Point is simply magnificent. A star attraction off the tip of the coast, it’s a constantly moving peninsula between the Humber Estuary and the North Sea. No two days are ever the same at Spurn Point – you can see Yorkhire’s only tidal island when the tide comes in across the Holderness Coast, or when the tide is out, trek along the 3.5 mile long tip. If you take an early morning trip, you can spot roe, foxes and more. Make a big impression at a driveway entrance by flanking it with either rounded boulders or flat, pillar-like boulders. Choose a color for these accents that complements your house and/or other features in your yard. Soil is vital to life on Earth because plants can't grow without the water and nutrients it contains, and animals can't survive without plants. Granite’s resilience and aesthetic qualities have made it a constructors’ favorite for millennia. Ancient civilizations from Egypt to China utilized the stone’s compressive strength and polishability in monuments and sculptures. Today, dimensioned granite slabs and tiles cover buildings, kitchens, and public spaces globally.Color choices are more subjective. But the discriminating designer relishes opportunities to incorporate color so as to achieve matches, create interesting contrasts, etc. A mineral is a naturally occurring substance with distinctive chemical and physical properties, composition and atomic structure. Sandy soil has anything from 80-100% sand in it while clay soil is anything from 50-100% clay. Loam soils can have between 10-30% of clay and between 25-50% of sand. Loam soils also contain anything from 30-50% of silt. There are lots of variations of these soil types You’ll find Aysgarth Falls nestled in the Yorkshire Dales National Park – it’s one of the only places in the UK that’s best enjoyed in the heavy rain! The three-stepped waterfalls are carved out by the River Ure, and you can watch the water cascade over the limestone steps, making for a dramatic scene. The Falls have even attracted famous artists like J.M.W Turner, who raved about its beauty. Available at stone yards, you'll probably need to have boulders delivered to your property. If you've hired landscapers for the installation, they'll make the necessary arrangements.
