This delightful period home is located on the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and offers a spacious retreat perfect for large groups of friends and families. The host town of Middleham is renowned for its history and racehorses. Much of the history surrounds its Norman castle – explore its ruins after watching the famous horses make their way to the gallops each morning. The town’s market square offers a range of shops, pubs, and places to eat, while the bustling market town of Leyburn (2 miles) offers a greater variety of boutiques, restaurants, cafes and pubs. While in Leyburn, explore the popular Forbidden Corner (2.5 mile) where a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and other surprises are set across 4 acres of peaceful grounds. For outdoor enthusiasts, reach the North York Moors, the Yorkshire Dales, and the valleys of Wensleydale all within 30 miles.
