View of North York Moors Moorland Trail

Highlight • Natural

Almost definitely hike-a-bike on a gravel bike though easier since it's been stoned up and flattened. A tough peddle up on a mountain bike, great fun on the way down though. A really nice view and a pretty trail - proper rewilded moorland. Highland cattle often in the field between the two gates though now mostly fenced off and the latch on the gate at the bottom has now been removed so just give it a push or pull!

Thirsk Bridge Over Cod Beck

Highlight • Bridge

Close to this bridge I was able to park the car, away from the town centre car parking that you have to pay for, which is £1.40 per hour as of April 2024. There are plenty spaces besides the houses. This bridge has small single tracks running parallel to the river

Thirsk Market Place and Clock Tower

Highlight • Rest Area

The market place here in Thirsk is its vibrant centre full of cafes and an open air market on Mondays and Saturdays.

It is famous for its racecourse and the former home of James Herriot, vet and author of the books which inspired 'All Creatures Great and Small', the hit BBC series. His house and vet surgery are now a museum, 'The World of James Herriot'.

Thirsk Market Place Clock Tower

Highlight • Rest Area

We started our tour at this car park which is in the centre of Thirsk. Very clean and well looked after toilets across the road from the car park.
On our return we were easily spoilt for choice of where to eat. Pubs fish and chips bakeries a great place to spend some down time
