There's such natural beauty to see and many hundreds of miles of history preserved in North Yorkshire. So it's hardly surprising that the county is a frequent star of stage screen and TV.

One of the megalithic High Bridestones.

OK, perhaps not such a lot on stage. But, come on clever-clogs, how much of this fame do you already know? Try the quiz and find out!

It's not difficult to find quirky questions about an area steeped in such history and mystery.

It's less of a doddle limiting the quiz to only ten questions.

We ask about some of the places that have become famous as backdrops to TV series or films.

Agatha Christie
Where was there a hiding place for the queen of mystery?

Then we get a little sneaky and throw in a few questions about places that have a particular association with some famous people.

Test your knowledge now

It's only for fun, but it would be good to know how many get 10 out of 10 first time. So if you're a North Yorkshire mastermind, drop an e-mail to us at northyorkshire@bbc.co.uk and own up!
