Little wonder the magic of the North York Moors has inspired professional photographers such as Mike Kipling, John Devli and Brian Jobson

Now a free exhibition inspired by the diverse landscape of the North York Moors National Park begins a run at Sutton Bank National Park Centre.

Masters of Light runs from February 13-22 and is followed by Northern Light, a collection of images from Ryedale-based photographers Janet and Richard Burdon, Tracey Philips and David Sault, from March 19 to 29.

The series concludes from April 1-16 with Light on Land by Chris Ceaser, whose image of Rosedale's old railway is shown. He said: "The North York Moors is a quiet and intimate place which offers stunning scenery throughout."

Sally Smith, the North York Moors National Park Authority's events and exhibitions co-ordinator, added: "We are fortunate to have some wonderful views and iconic buildings and landforms in the North York Moors."
