The amenities of Middleham are just a very short walk down the lane and the town square boasts an array of old traditional pubs, fine eateries and old curiosity shops. Sit back, enjoy a pint of local beer and watch the racehorses walk their way back to the many famous stables scattered throughout the town. The castle dates back to the 12th century and wonderful walking can be enjoyed right across the area. Market towns such as Richmond, Leyburn, Masham, famous for the Theakston's and Black Sheep breweries, and Hawes, the home of Wensleydale cheese, are within easy reach.
Renowned for its history and race horses, the attractive Wensleydale town of Middleham is dominated by its Norman castle, dating from 1190. This impressive structure boasts a castle keep, second in size only to the Tower of London. The town's market square has been cobbled and is home to a wide range of shops, pubs and places to eat, though for more choice, the bustling town of Leyburn is just a short drive away. The Forbidden Corner, a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and surprises is also close by and is located in four acres of grounds. With Wensleydale, York, the North York Moors, the Yorkshire Dales and Heritage Coast all within easy driving distance, visitors to this lovely town will be spoiled for choice.

It was really well equipped especially the kitchen. I have never stayed in a cottage as clean, I would certainly recommend it.

It is clean, comfortable and well equipped. It is ideally situated near the centre of Middleham and just.a short walk to the pubs. There are great walks from the door and we can't recommend this cottage too highly
