Discover Leyburn
An authentic Yorkshire Dales market town, Leyburn boasts a host of small, independent shops, cafes and pubs which crowd around the cobbled main square.
Familiar high street names may be hard to come by but what the town lacks in fads it more than makes up for with variety and originality.
Hand-made chocolates, locally-produced beer, ice-cream and cheese and produce from local farms are all celebrated in the town’s annual Dales Festival of Food and Drink – but you don’t have to wait till then to try them.
Leyburn welcomes local traders to a bustling market every Friday, when farmers also flock to town for weekly livestock auctions. Special events include an annual 1940s Weekend and the Wensleydale Show, which is held over the August Bank holiday weekend.
The Leyburn Shawl: Sinfonia for Orchestra.
The Leyburn Shawl is a path that runs along the limestone escarpment just outside the North Yorkshire town of Leyburn. There’s an old story that Mary, Queen of Scots, escaping captivity in nearby Bolton Castle, dropped her shawl as she fled along the ridge pursued by soldiers on horseback guided by hounds.
The music is not a retelling of the story, but it does perhaps have a feeling of the landscape and history of the place.
The Orchestra consists of pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoon, trumpets, horns, trombone, timpani and strings but sounds like a worn out Hammond organ. I really ought to find a better Score Writing program.
It is dedicated to the memory of my brother-in-law, Geoff Beasley. He was a true artist who taught me that creative activity is measured by integrity not popular acclaim. It was while sitting with his widow, my sister, on the Leyburn Shawl that I realised the connection with the music.
