In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Attermire like this:
HATTERMIRE, an amphitheatre of lofty precipices of mountain limestone, in W. R. Yorkshire; 2 miles E of Settle. The precipices are so rent and fissured as to resemble ranges of basaltic columns; and a cave in the face of one of them was found to contain some implements of the Romans.
Attermire 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 Attermire itself, go to Statistics.
