Yorkshire WAS a large county. But these days, it's split into 3 seperate
counties, west, north and south. So although all these places fall within
yorkshire...
Doncaster, leeds, huddersfield, halifax, harrogate, york, bradford,
bridlington, scarborough, whitby, filey... etc
York falls into north yorkshire, halifax and hudderfield are west yorkshire
and doncaster is south yorkshire.
Still, west yorkshire does cover quite a large area, so, it's possible.
