The attractive old market town of Kirkbymoorside lies on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, in between the towns of Helmsley and Pickering. It is a charming place, full of Yorkshire character, and is the centre for the local farms and villages. Visitors will find all they want from tearooms, pubs and restaurants to antique shops, while Wednesday is market day. The excellent walking and magnificent scenery of the National Park are close by, as are the picturesque villages of Hutton le Hole and Lastingham. Pickering is the base of the North York Moors Steam Railway - a ‘must do’ day out for all visitors to the area. Both the City of York and the Yorkshire Coast are within easy driving distance.

Previous visitors' comments about Pound Cottage:
Quiet area - village itself tranquil but with enough shops and pubs to be practical and interesting. Some walks on the doorstep, easy access to many more walks and sites of interest. Cosy cottage with good facilities and equipment - gas cooker & broadband connection.
