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 />

A<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 />

full of historic interest too, including Helmsley, with its<br />

roads, woodland tracks and bridleways.<br />

fantastic National Park centres. The Moors National<br />

Park Centre set in an idyllic spot on the river Esk near<br />

riverside trails to enjoy outside. Inside find interactive<br />

exhibits and a beautiful contemporary art gallery.<br />

England’s finest view, kids can enjoy the natural play<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 />

IS HOME TO SOME OF<br />

THE COUNTRY’S MOST<br />

GLORIOUS GARDENS.<br />

LOVELY PERFUMES AND<br />

BEAUTIFUL VIEWS.<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 />
