MIDDLEHAM

Leyburn 2.5 miles; Richmond 12 miles.

The attractive Wensleydale town of Middleham is renowned for its history and race horses. Much of the history is bound up with its Norman castle, which dates from 1190 and has a castle keep second in size only to the Tower of London. The horses are a great sight as they make their way to the gallops every morning. The pretty market square is partially cobbled and offers a wide range of shops, pubs and places to eat. The bustling market town of Leyburn is just a short drive away offering a variety of great shops and pubs, or why not take some time to explore The Forbidden Corner, a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and surprises set amidst 4 acres of grounds, providing a fun day out for all the family? All in all a superb base for exploring Wensleydale and all within easy driving distance of York, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales and Heritage Coast.

Previous Visitors' Comments
The cottage was lovely, everything we needed under the one roof and it was a nice touch of the four poster as it was our honeymoon. the location was lovely on a square where there was plenty of places to eat or drink and a convient store directly opposite. the tea room to the left of the property was lovely and had a friendly welcome, easy access to go to places which made it an ideal base

Lovely cottage with an ‘olde worlde’ feel. Excellently positioned for walks in the Yorkshire Dales. Middleham is a lovely village, with ample pubs & restaurants to choose from. Most have good food and beer.
