• Pubs and restaurants

  Visitor’s recommendations:

  Being a market town, there are plenty of little eateries in Thirsk that you can stop at. Grab a sausage roll at H. Lee and Son’s butchers, before heading down to Little Three Bar for the live music and cocktails.

  For delicious, high quality pub food, eat at the Golden Fleece, just a 10 minute walk from our campsite. The Golden Fleece also boasts an outdoor pizza oven so you can enjoy a fresh, stone-baked pizza with your beer.

• Family days out

  Visit the marketplace in Thirsk Old Town, every Monday and Saturday. There are lots of stalls to peruse and plenty of food to sample; our visitors have recommended trying the pork pies!

   

  Take a day trip to bustling York, around 40 minutes by train or car, or make the 50 mile drive through the North York Moors National Park to the harbor town of Whitby.

   

  It’s worth stopping in at North Yorkshire Moors National Park. With miles of stunning heather, towering sea cliffs, secluded beaches and grassy dales give this Park a character all of its own.
