Cleveland, Yorkshire
Place
Cleveland is a land of hills and dales from the River Tees to Vale of Pickering, England. The area’s name means “cliff-land”.The area corresponds to the former Langaurgh Wapentake. The North York Moors national park, established in 1952, covers part of the area. A non-metropolitan county under the same name existed from 1974 to 1996 leading to ambiguity between the county and the name's historic extent.
