The pretty village of Kirklington lies east of Masham and south of Bedale, mid-way between Yorkshire’s two famous National Parks, the Dales and the Moors. There are some pretty walks from the cottage, around the rolling arable fields that surround the village. Kirklington is a well laid out village with a huge village green surrounded by lovely older houses as well as a church and village pub. Across the fields (1/2 mile) is Camp Hill Adventure Park, and within easy reach is the historic, market town of Masham, which is situated on the River Ure. Set in gently rolling farmland, the town boasts a huge market square, where a Wednesday market has recently been joined by a popular Saturday market. Masham boasts a range of crafts, galleries, shops, restaurants and pubs, and is the home to the Black Sheep Brewery, which now brews 11 million pints of beer a year! The cathedral city of Ripon is a short drive away. West Tanfield with its two competing pubs is about a 10 minute drive - one has been voted the best beer garden in the UK, overlooking the River Ure. Gardeners will enjoy the Thorp Perrow Arboretum and the gardens at Constable Burton, and don't miss the weird and wonderful "Forbidden Corner" near Middleham! Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Gardens (a World Heritage Site) is about a 20 minute drive and you can enjoy one of the largest and best preserved monasteries in England or walk the seven bridges walk – a must.
