In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Hambleton like this:
HAMBLETON-HILLS, a hill range in N. R. Yorkshire. It extends about 7 miles from N by W to S by E; is distant, near the south end, 5½ miles E from Thirsk; presents a bold appearance, forming a fine background to many landscapes; and commands extensive and charming views.
Hambleton is now part of NORTH YORKSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH YORKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Hambleton itself, go to Statistics.
