Thornton le Dale is a little village
in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, 3 miles east of Pickering. It's considered one of the county's prettiest villages. Even the carpark looked like a walled garden.
The first place to visit in Thornton
would be the recognisable cottage pictured above. The famous thatched cottage 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.
