Thornton-le-Dale lies on the the southern edge of the North
Yorkshire Moors National Park.
Thornton-le-Dale with its interesting buildings,
pleasant walks beside the beck and many footpaths offers an idyllic setting for a short
break or longer stay
This picturesque English village has a beck running
alongside the main street and the village stocks and market
cross are still in existence on the small village green.
The village is well served with three pubs, bistro, varied
gift shops, newsagent and post office.
Ideally situated for touring the area either walking on foot
over the numerous foot paths, riding a mountain bike through
the off road tracks in Dalby Forest or following the Moors
to Coast cycle route. If you want to try your hand at 4*4
off road driving then the
Langdale Quest (a 4*4 off road
driving centre) set on the edge of Dalby Forest is the place
to go. >>more |
