The exhibition, which runs from 6 to 28 March, is the first public showing of these images since their launch in December at London's National Theatre.

The 2009 sward was supported by the nine English national park authorities to mark the 60th anniversary of the 1949 National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act.

The Take a View exhibition at the Inspired by…Gallery will include the images chosen by the English national park authorities to represent their areas in the national park award category.

Andy Wilson, the North York Moors National Park Authority's chief executive, said: "We are thrilled to have secured such a prestigious exhibition for the Inspired by…Gallery.

"The images are truly stunning and make you appreciate how many different and outstanding places our small island has to explore.

"With five national parks in the north of England, including two in Yorkshire, we are fortunate to have many of these superb places of natural beauty on our doorsteps. I hope the exhibition gives people ideas of new places to discover and also helps them appreciate the importance of landscape – for all sorts of reasons - to people and wildlife."

Running alongside the Take a View exhibition will be another chance to see Diamonds in the Landscape, a collection of images from the UK's national parks taken by some of the country's best landscape photographers including Joe Cornish, Val Corbett and David Tarn.

The centre and the exhibition are open daily from 11am to 4pm and entry is free.
