DISCOVER BUSTLING<br />
MARKET TOWNS<br />
& VILLAGES<br />
Y<br />
ou’ll never be short of things to do in our<br />
fascinating market towns. Independent<br />
shops and galleries offer a unique shopping<br />
experience, with local crafts inspired by<br />
the surrounding landscape, while local produce can<br />
be enjoyed at many of the area’s award-winning<br />
restaurants, weekly markets and farmers’ markets.<br />
The area encompasses hundreds of settlements of<br />
varying size, from moorside hamlets to picturesque<br />
riverside villages and small market towns. Many of<br />
<strong>Yorkshire</strong>’s most loved and best kept villages are in the<br />
area, such as Thornton-le-Dale and Hutton-le-Hole.<br />
However, if you stray off the beaten track you will be<br />
equally rewarded – the variety of villages is endless<br />
and most have something distinctive to seek out.<br />
Malton & Norton<br />
Malton is one of <strong>Yorkshire</strong>’s most renowned foodie<br />
destinations built around its famous local produce,<br />
food shopping and monthly food markets. Malton is<br />
host to a weekly Saturday market and to one of the<br />
biggest livestock markets in the north of England.<br />
Monthly food and farmers’ markets are popular as is<br />
May’s massive annual ‘Food Lovers Festival’ attracting<br />
some of the biggest names in food.<br />
The neighbouring town of Norton is noted as a centre<br />
for training racehorses and riders can be seen on the<br />
gallops near the town.<br />
Malton is an excellent base from which to visit some of<br />
the county’s most popular visitor attractions. On the<br />
edge of Malton is Eden Camp, a unique museum of<br />
social life in the Second World War. To the west is<br />
Castle Howard – perhaps the most spectacular country<br />
house in the <strong>North</strong> of England, with its beautiful<br />
façades familiar to many from Brideshead Revisited.<br />
A few miles to the north, Flamingo Land Theme Park<br />
and Zoo is one of the UK’s most popular attractions.<br />
Kirkbymoorside<br />
Known locally as ‘Kirby’, the town name literally means<br />
church-by-the-moor-side. Fine Georgian houses and<br />
welcoming hostelries edge the broad cobble-lined<br />
main street. Market traders sell a range of goods<br />
every Wednesday.<br />
Pickering<br />
Pickering is a traditional market town with a castle,<br />
ancient church frescos and local museum of rural life.<br />
The town hosts the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Yorkshire</strong> Moors Railway<br />
which operates steam trains, through the heart of<br />
the <strong>North</strong> York Moors National Park to Grosmont.<br />
There are some services which continue to the coast<br />
to Whitby.<br />
The skyline of the town is dominated by the magnificent<br />
spire of the Church of St Peter and St Paul, which<br />
contains some remarkable 15th century murals.<br />
Whilst hidden above the town, the ruins of Pickering<br />
Castle harbour a rich royal history, originally built of<br />
wood by William the Conqueror to suppress rebellious<br />
northerners.<br />
Helmsley<br />
One of <strong>Yorkshire</strong>’s most popular market towns, Helmsley<br />
has a characterful market place, historic architecture,<br />
a wide range of quality independent shops and an<br />
excellent selection of award-winning accommodation,<br />
pubs, cafes and restaurants. It is these businesses<br />
that have helped Helmsley recently achieve the title of<br />
‘Britain’s Best Market Town’.<br />
High above the town are the ruins of Helmsley Castle<br />
built in the 12th century successfully besieged by<br />
Parliamentarian forces during the Civil War. The town<br />
is also the home of Helmsley Walled Garden originally<br />
built in 1758 to supply the Duncombe estate with fruit,<br />
vegetables and cut flowers. The Duncombe Park Estate<br />
is also home to the National Birds of Prey Centre.<br />

26-mile heritage coastline reveals hidden<br />
gems at every turn, from picture-postcard<br />
fishing villages like Staithes with its artistic<br />
flair to the smugglers’ hot-spot of Robin<br />
Hood’s Bay, with its maze of cobbled alleys, to hideaway<br />
coves and soaring cliffs with breathtaking views.<br />
From minke whales to moorland birds, there’s a wealth of<br />
wildlife waiting to be discovered too. Home to England’s<br />
largest expanse of heather moorland, the <strong>North</strong> York<br />
Moors is an enchanting place any time of year but in<br />
late summer the heather flushes purple creating a truly<br />
magnificent sight.<br />
Meanwhile, the beautiful valleys have inspired monastic<br />
communities for centuries – visit the ruins of Rievaulx<br />
Abbey, Byland Abbey and Mount Grace Priory to discover<br />
your own place of contemplation.<br />

riverside trails to enjoy outside. Inside find interactive<br />
exhibits and a beautiful contemporary art gallery.<br />

area while walks and bike rides set off straight from<br />
the door – there’s year-round bike hire and a mix of<br />
family cycle routes and more adventurous off-road<br />
thrills.<br />
More great journeys await on the Esk Valley Railway<br />
and the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Yorkshire</strong> Moors Railway, the world’s<br />
most popular steam heritage railway line – linking<br />
moorland villages to the golden sandy beaches of the<br />
coast at Whitby. Relive the magic of Harry Potter with<br />

THIS BEAUTIFUL AREA<br />

THE COUNTRY’S MOST<br />
GLORIOUS GARDENS.<br />

Stately Home Gardens<br />
Many stately homes also have notable gardens which<br />
are worth visiting for their own unique features.<br />
These include the 18th century gardens at Duncombe<br />
Park in Helmsley, elegant and spacious, offering stunning<br />
views from the terraces over the Rye Valley.<br />
Keen to establish natural flora, mowing is relaxed on the<br />
grassy banks and this policy has paid off as the Doric<br />
Temple is now surrounded with swathes of wild flowers.<br />
Way marked walks, discovery trails and orienteering<br />
courses allow visitors to discover 450 acres of parkland,<br />
gardens and a National Nature Reserve.<br />
Also visit the gardens at Castle Howard where its<br />
formal terraces with graceful statues, wide open<br />
spaces, lakeside paths and richly planted rose gardens<br />
provide the visitor with endless opportunities for<br />
gentle walks amongst a riot of colour. Produce from<br />
the Ornamental Vegetable Garden can be bought in the<br />
Farm Shop and plants, trees and shrubs can be bought<br />
from the Plant Centre. The Courtyard Restaurant<br />
offers an excellent menu based on local produce.<br />

YORKSHIRE’S<br />
COAST & COUNTRY<br />
T<br />
he heritage coastline of the <strong>North</strong> York<br />
Moors National Park can be explored<br />
within easy reach of rural <strong>North</strong> <strong>Yorkshire</strong>.<br />
Whitby is remembered for its maritime<br />
and literary connections. The old town is dominated<br />
by the cliff top ruins of the beautiful 13th century<br />
Whitby Abbey, which provided the inspiration for Bram<br />
Stoker’s Dracula.<br />
Close by at Whitby Harbour, a whale’s jawbone<br />
commemorates the town’s past as a whaling port.<br />
A few miles from Whitby, a number of romantic fishing<br />
villages rest off the cliff, such as Runswick Bay and<br />
Robin Hood’s Bay. For a traditional day out at the<br />
seaside, Scarborough, one of England’s oldest seaside<br />
resorts, has something for all the family or Filey with<br />
its miles of golden sand is popular with families.<br />

AROUND &<br />
ABOUT YORKSHIRE<br />
R<br />
yedale, nestling between the historic city<br />
of York and the spectacular East Coast,<br />
is an ideal base for touring the best of <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Yorkshire</strong>. In less than an hour, you could be<br />
shopping in York or Beverley; exploring the <strong>Yorkshire</strong><br />
Dales; enjoying the heritage coastline and fishing<br />
town of Whitby or the fun of the fair at Scarborough.<br />
Historic York and Beverley<br />
The historic City of York is one of the great medieval,<br />
walled cities of the World. A wonderful train journey<br />
from Malton, through the glorious Derwent Valley to<br />
York, will ensure you arrive in the city centre relaxed<br />
and ready to enjoy the many historic attractions it<br />
has to offer.<br />
Within walking distance from the station are the<br />
National Railway Museum, the famous Jorvik Viking<br />
Centre, York Minster, Clifford’s Tower and the York<br />
Castle Museum – all excellent family attractions.<br />
York also has an excellent shopping centre and many<br />
cafes, pubs & restaurants to relax in. During September<br />
the city hosts the York Festival of Food and Drink.<br />
Over 1300 years of history have made Beverley what<br />
it is today. This attractive market town boasts a blend<br />
on the past and present. Attractions on offer range<br />
from music festivals to ghost walks, medieval churches<br />
to bustling weekend markets.<br />
An unspoilt historic townscape features outstanding<br />
buildings and impressive architecture. The horizon<br />
is dominated on two counts, to the north side the<br />
medieval St Mary’s church and the south the majestic<br />
Beverley Minster, which dates back to the 13th century.<br />
All Creatures Great and Small<br />
At nearby Thirsk, the ‘World of James’ Herriot, which is<br />
situated in his original veterinary surgery, houses many<br />
exhibits, some of which will be familiar to viewers of<br />
‘All Creatures Great and Small’. In 2015 the World of<br />
James Herriot was crowned best small visitor attraction<br />
of the year by Welcome to <strong>Yorkshire</strong> and <strong>Visit</strong>England,<br />
a visit is highly recommended.<br />
