There are two family butchers in Masham offering a wide range of locally-sourced meats and homemade products like pies and famous Masham sausages.

Every Wednesday and Saturday Masham is a host to a lively market offering delicious produce and an electric range of bargins. Explore neighbouring villages and towns with their castles such as Richmond and while, if you fancy a spot of retail therapy Harrogate and Ripon are within 22 miles.

A lovely ,well equipped cottage in a great location . The walk across the field to the pub was picturesque and just the right length.The bus stopped just outside the cottage making it easy to have days out. The owners were so helpful at giving advice. A smashing holiday.

Excellent property with good quality fixtures & fittings and very clean & tidy. Great location for exploring Yorkshire and just a half hour walk into Masham.
