The Three Ridings of Yorkshire are the ancient divisions of the county, and the creation of the Norse period from which Yorkshire itself arose.

Yorkshire, as the largest county in the United Kingdom, is most conveniently divided - and the three ridings are the fundamental geographical and cultural divisions of the shire.

The three ridings surround the City of York, their boundaries meeting at the walls of the city: thus York within the walls is the only part of Yorkshire outside any of the ridings.

The three are:

1️⃣ East Riding
2️⃣ North Riding
3️⃣ West Riding
