Thirsk has a charm of its own, essentially unchanged and influenced by the world. It centres on a bustling cobbled market square, dominated by the town clock, with its Monday & Saturday markets and independent shopping.
Visitors from all over the world are impressed by the warm and friendly welcome of the residents of this gem of town.
With a number of flat walks through the town and along the river or further afield to, explore the small pretty villages with their sandstone cottages.
