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