Places to see in ( Thornton Le Dale - UK )
Thornton-le-Dale (also called Thornton Dale) is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, about three miles east of Pickering on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. A thatched cottage in the village has appeared on countless calendars and chocolate boxes over the years. The village is often regarded as one of the prettiest in Yorkshire.
The village lies on the A170 road from Thirsk to Scarborough. The route of The White Rose Way, a long distance walk from Leeds to Scarborough also passes through. Richard Rolle, the English mystic, was probably born in Thornton in the Dale. In the Middle Ages, Roxby, just west of the village, was a separate manor, which fell into the hands of the Cholmeley family in 1499. Sir Hugh Cholmeley, 1st Baronet, was born at Roxby Castle, then known as Thorton-on-the-Hill. The remains on Roxby Hill are a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The Thornton le Dale Show, a traditional rural show, takes place in August. On the first Saturday in December, the Village Lights Committee (all volunteers) stage the annual Christmas lights 'Switch On'. This is the culmination of a whole year's work of raising money and putting up the lights around the village. In November each year, the Thornton le Dale players put on a play in the village hall. This normally runs for three nights and is always well attended and enjoyed by many villagers and visitors from the surrounding area.

Middlesbrough is a large industrial town on the south bank of the River Tees in North Yorkshire, north-east England, founded in 1830. The local council, a unitary authority, is Middlesbrough Borough Council.
Middlesbrough became a county borough within the North Riding of Yorkshire in 1889. In 1968, the borough was merged with a number of others to form the County Borough of Teesside, which was absorbed in 1974 by the county of Cleveland. In 1996, Cleveland was abolished, and Middlesbrough Borough Council became a unitary authority within North Yorkshire. RGs Erimus (We shall be in Latin) was chosen as Middlesbrough's motto in 1830. It recalls Fuimus (We have been) the motto of the Norman/Scottish Bruce family, who were lords of Cleveland in the Middle Ages. The town's coat of arms is an azure lion, from the arms of the Bruce family, a star, from the arms of Captain James Cook, and two ships, representing shipbuilding and maritime trade.
The following list are the different wards, districts and suburbs that make up the Middlesbrough built-up area.

Deep, broad valleys dissect the North York Moors National Park, with hidden winding roads that suddenly lead to surprise views.
Wonderfully-named valleys such as Great Fryup Dale, Rosedale and Farndale weave in and out of the central park area. Farndale is famous for its spring displays of wild daffodils and you can also see them in Rosedale.

West Yorkshire, 2008
The music is Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush, a beautiful song that floated on my childhood and has come back now.
last october I had the privilege to visit the wonderful West Yorkshire villages of Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Heptonstall and Haworth- I'm fond of literature and this is the best place where I could be: the Yorkshire moors, where the Brontes wrote and were inspired for their most beautiful works, where poet Ted Hughes was born and lived his childhood and part of his adulthood and where poetess Sylvia Plath is buried.
Those places have bewitched me completely and I thought of making a very short and simple tribute to the days passed there.
The Pennine Way: Yorkshire Dales section ©
You can see the whole walk at
The Pennine Way is a National Trail which runs 268 miles (431 km) from Edale, in the northern Derbyshire Peak District and ends at Kirk Yetholm, just inside the Scottish border. The route crosses three national parks; the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales & Northumberland, one area of outstanding natural beauty in the North Pennines and a world heritage site at Hadrian's Wall.
The route enters the Dales near Thornton in Craven heading North to Malham through Gargrave. At Malham there is a steep climb up to follow the Watlowes Valley until the route swings North to skirt Malham Tarn. Shortly afterwards it climbs to follow the contours around Fountains Fell up the southern face of Pen y Ghent and down into Horton in Ribblesdale. From here the Way heads north to briefly join the Dales Way before following the West Cam Road ridge northwestwards and down to Hawes. At Hawes there is a slow gradual ascent and descent of Great Shunner Fell before you skirt around Kisden to reach Keld in Swaledale where the Pennine Way meets the Coast to Coast path. After a brief climb the route crosses the moors to the famous Tan Hill Inn on the edge of the National Park. The original Pennine Way route heads across Cotherstone Moor to Baldersdale and north into Middleton in Teesdale. Apparently Teesdale is in the old North Riding of Yorkshire which is still considered part of the Yorkshire Dales although it is now in County Durham so I have included this section. At Middleton in Teesdale the walk turns westwards along the River Tees past Low Force and High Force to exit the Dales into Cumbria at Cauldron Snout waterfall.

Wherever you go stay safe, check the weather, plan ahead, let people know where you are going, take maps & compass with your gps and follow the countryside code. It is best to ask permission to camp outside of official campsites although the law for campers is different in Scotland and England.

Easthill
Farm Holidays Self Catering Lodges North Yorkshire Moors
Easthill Farm House is family run and we pride ourselves on our very high standards of cleanliness and friendly personal service.
This beautiful family house has been sympathetically converted to provide three quiet, spacious and very attractive apartments. They accommodate from two to eight people and all enjoy southerly views of the gardens and beyond across the Yorkshire Wolds. An adjoining cottage, which sleeps four-plus guests, has been converted from the old coach house and stable and retains many of the original features, including open beamed ceilings.
All the apartments and cottage are self-contained each with their own private entrances. They are furnished traditionally with colour co-ordinated soft furnishings to create a warm elegant country house atmosphere. The kitchens are particularly well equipped. All bedrooms (unless otherwise stated) are en-suite with bath or shower.
Easthill Farm House and Lodges stand in two and a half acres of beautiful grounds and are situated on the eastern edge of the village, where a warm welcome awaits you. You can relax in the large landscaped gardens or for the more active, an all-weather tennis court and putting green are available. If mountain biking is your life then we have a wash off bay and a secure lock up.
For the younger members of family an adventure playground provides a safe environment in which to play. Help to feed the hens or the three little pigs which are enclosed in some of the woodland. There is also a small indoor play area with table tennis, pool table and darts. Round off the day with a charcoal grilled meal using our recently built barbecue with patio facilities. All facilities are free of charge except the hot tub, for which a nominal charge will apply.
The accommodation, the gardens and the recreational facilities all combine to provide an ideal base for a truly memorable country holiday in North Yorkshire.
We are situated in the award-winning village of Thornton-le-Dale, one of the prettiest in North Yorkshire, located within the North York Moors National Park. Thornton Beck meanders through the village with footbridges crossing to pictuesque cottages; it passes by the village square (which has a market cross and a pair of stocks!) and is bordered by a good selection of shops for daily provisions and souvenirs.
There are activities and places of interest for all ages in the area. Whether your inclinations are for walking, cycling, fishing, horse-riding, golf or tennis or for gardens, stately homes, monastic ruins, fascinating villages or magnificent views of the countryside, all are to be found nearby. The area has a very good selection of pubs and restaurants catering for a wide variety of tastes. A frequent bus service to both Pickering and Scarborough passes through the village.
