Fun quiz. Despite being born in Yorkshire, I still got five wrong. I didn't realise that Dracula was an author! Also I have a question, isn't Mickle Fell in the county of Durham? I always thought that the highest point in Yorkshire was Whernside (788m above sea level).

I meant literary in the sense of a literary figure, not an author hahah I’ll reword that. From what I can tell Mickle Fell is the highest point in the historic county of Yorkshire, but it is now within the ceremonial county of Durham. This series I’m doing is about the historic counties so I think it is right but I’ll maybe change that question to avoid confusion. Thanks!
