History and Heritage Yorkshire @handhyorkshire.bsky.social · 9h

🧵The iconic limestone pavements of Yorkshire, famously found around Malham Cove and Ingleborough, are spectacular post-glacial landscapes. Formed and exposed by the last Ice Age, these flat expanses of Carboniferous limestone feature blocks known as ‘clints’, separated by deep fissures

Twisleton Scar’s hawthorn trees are among the most photographed and recognisable natural landmarks in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Rather than being a single tree with a documented historical story or human-planted heritage, these hardy hawthorns are celebrated for their resilience, distinctive appearance and close connection to the ancient landscape. Their story is inseparable from the rugged limestone pavements of Twisleton Scar. Growing from thin soils between the limestone, the trees have endured centuries of harsh weather, strong winds and exposed conditions. Their twisted forms and weather-beaten branches are a reminder of nature’s ability to survive in challenging environments, making them an iconic symbol of the Yorkshire Dales.

Where are the gaps in NHS dentistry? Access to NHS dentistry is becoming increasingly uneven across England, with the South West and East of England having fewer NHS dental practices per resident. Take a look to find out more: buff.ly/ZWoovUC

Choropleth map of England showing the number of practices offering NHS general dentistry per 100,000 people in 2025/26. Headline reads: “Areas with fewer practices per resident cluster in the South West and the East of England”.

Text states: “Practices offering NHS general dentistry per 100,000 people (2025/26). Average across England: 10 per 100,000”. A colour scale ranges from 7 to 13 practices per 100,000 people, with darker shades representing fewer practices and lighter shades representing more practices.

The map shows considerable geographical variation in the availability of NHS dental practices relative to population size. Areas with fewer practices per resident are concentrated in the South West and parts of the East of England, while higher numbers of practices per resident are found across much of London, the South East and several areas in the Midlands. The graphic highlights significant regional differences in access to NHS dental practices across England.
