Thornton le Dale


Thornton le Dale is a little village in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, 3 miles east of Pickering; it is considered one of the county's prettiest villages. Even the car park was set in what wouldn’t have looked out of place as a walled garden.

The first place to visit in Thornton would be the recognisable cottage pictured above. The famous thatched cottage has been used on many souvenirs over the years; it is a grade II listed building built in the 17th century and extended in the 20th. From here, we followed the path, and although it’s quite a short walk, it takes you through a scenic part of the village with pretty cottages and gardens. Then, you cross through some fields and walk along the river until you reach the church at the other end before heading back.
