The '''North Riding of Yorkshire''' is the northernmost of the three Ridings that make up the county [[Yorkshire]] in northern England. Much of the Riding is rural, containing the North York Moors as well as an area of the [[Pennines]] including the north-eastern part of the [[Yorkshire Dales]] and southern Teesdale. It has a population of around 708,000, with many of its inhabitants living in the Teesside conurbation, which is centered on the Riding's largest town [[Middlesborough]] (pop. 174,000), and straddles the border with County Durham to the north along the River Tees, stretching to the seaside town of Redcar. Other notable towns in the Riding include the seaside resorts [[Scarborough]] and [[Whitby]], as well as the county town [[Northallerton]], market towns such as [[Thirsk]] and Richmond, and the military town [[Catterick Garrison]] (just west of [[Catterick]] village, the site of an old Roman fort).
