Thornton-le-Dale (also called Thornton Dale) is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, about three miles east of Pickering on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. A thatched cottage in the village has appeared on countless calendars and chocolate boxes over the years. The village is often regarded as one of the prettiest in Yorkshire.
The village lies on the A170 road from Thirsk to Scarborough. The route of The White Rose Way, a long distance walk from Leeds to Scarborough also passes through. Richard Rolle, the English mystic, was probably born in Thornton in the Dale. In the Middle Ages, Roxby, just west of the village, was a separate manor, which fell into the hands of the Cholmeley family in 1499. Sir Hugh Cholmeley, 1st Baronet, was born at Roxby Castle, then known as Thorton-on-the-Hill. The remains on Roxby Hill are a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The Thornton le Dale Show, a traditional rural show, takes place in August. On the first Saturday in December, the Village Lights Committee (all volunteers) stage the annual Christmas lights 'Switch On'. This is the culmination of a whole year's work of raising money and putting up the lights around the village. In November each year, the Thornton le Dale players put on a play in the village hall. This normally runs for three nights and is always well attended and enjoyed by many villagers and visitors from the surrounding area.

Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) The Ingleton Waterfalls
Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is a well-known circular trail beginning and ending in the village of Ingleton in the English county of North Yorkshire, now maintained by the Ingleton Scenery Company. It is claimed that the trail, some 8 kilometres (5 mi) long, and with a vertical rise of 169 m (554 feet) has some of the most spectacular waterfall and woodland scenery in the north of England. It is on private land and an entrance fee is charged.
Following a number of articles in the Lancaster Guardian and other newspapers about the scenery in and around Ingleton, public interest led to the creation of the trail in an area which was previously hidden from view. Paths and bridges were built and the trail opened on Good Friday, 11 April 1885. The presence of Ingleton railway station played a major role in the early success of the trail, attracting visitors from Bradford, Manchester and Leeds. Ingleton lies on the North and South Craven fault, exposing Carboniferous and Ordovician rocks. The mysterious Ingletonian rock has been classified as Ordivician.
Starting in the Broadwood car park the trail takes walkers along the banks of the River Twiss, through Swilla Glenn with its coin embedded tree and on to Pecca Falls, Pecca Twin Falls, Holly Bush Spout and Thornton Force. A footbridge bridge crosses the Twiss and leads on to Twistleton Lane, where in summer there is often an Ice Cream Van waiting to serve hot and thirsty tourists. Following Twistleton Lane down past Scar End Farm and Twistleton Hall the walk crosses Oddies Lane to Beezley's Farm.
Past Beezley’s the trail starts its descent along the banks of the River Doe. This river emerges near God's Bridge close to the settlement of Chapel-le-Dale and flows gently until it reaches the waterfalls walk at Beezley's Falls Triple Spout (with its three waterfalls side-by side). As the trail continues, you look down 18 metres (59 feet) onto Rival Falls and then onto Baxenghyl Gorge, Snow Falls and finally walk through Twistleton Glenn and back to Ingleton.
In Ingleton, the Twiss and the Doe meet to form the River Greta, which in turn flows into the River Lune. English Nature designated the River Twiss and River Doe areas of the Waterfalls Trail as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to the interesting plants and animals and the geological structures located there.

Hunmanby is a large village and civil parish in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire, England. It is on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, approximately 3 miles southwest of Filey, and is on the route of the Centenary Way. It is served by Hunmanby railway station on the Yorkshire Coast Line, which runs between Hull and Scarborough.
The village's name of Hunmanby originated with the Danes, appearing in the Domesday Book as 'Hundemanbi' meaning 'farmstead of the hounds men', relating to the hunting down of wolves on the Yorkshire Wolds.
Evidence exists showing that Hunmanby was occupied by much earlier people than the Danes. A landslip occurred in 1907 revealing a British chariot burial site from the 1st or 2nd century BC, in which a chariot was buried horse and all. A tumulus on a local farm was opened up to reveal an ancient burial site containing 15 skeletons. Roman pottery and flint axe and arrowheads are frequently found in and around Hunmanby.
Given by William the Conqueror to Gilbert De Gant, De Gant lived in a house without the town named Le Burlyn (Old French for wool house), regarded to be built on the site where now stands Low Hall, the manor of Hunmanby became one of the most powerful in the North of England. His son William founded Burlington Bridlington Priory. Changing hands through the centuries many times the manor maintained its importance until the end of the 19th century, when the hereditary Lords of the Manor sold the estate piece by piece. The manor belonged from the 1620s to the 1830s to the Osbaldestons, a branch of a prominent Lancashire family; the most notable member of the family was Richard Osbaldeston, Bishop of London 1762–64. The manor passed by inheritance to the Mitford family, of whom the most notable was the novelist Bertram Mitford.
It was the main market town for the East Riding of Yorkshire and is said to be the last place in England where King Stephen kept his wolfhounds. It has a number of important buildings including Low Hall. The original hall, which dates from the 11th century, and Hunmanby Hall, a Queen Anne era building erected to replace the original hall on a more elevated site. The Hall was built from stones taken from Filey Brigg. After the death of Lord Nunburnholme in the early part of the 19th century, the Hall was bought by the Methodist Education Committee and re-opened in April 1928 as a boarding school for girls. The school closed in 1992 and could take up to 300 girls.
Hunmanby has a number of businesses located within the village, despite its small size. These include Deep Sea Electronics Plc, Cirrus Research Plc, Humprenco, Peninsula Group, Barcodereaders.com, the Apollo Group and the Beck Engineering Group. In 2017 Yorkshire's first Whisky distillery was opened on Hunmanby Industrial Estate by the owners of the nearby Wold Top Brewery.
The dinosaurs for Blackgang Chine on the Isle of Wight were manufactured in Hunmanby by Beck Engineering and featured on the TV series Blue Peter. Historically it was the home of the Solar Dome greenhouse company, who made an unusual geodetic dome-shaped greenhouse and also had one of only two car manufacturers in Yorkshire in 1911.
Hunmanby is also the location of a television transmitter which acts as a local relay filler for Filey, Bridlington and the surrounding villages which are unable to receive transmissions from Oliver's Mount and Belmont. It also is a terminal for the VSNL Northern Europe submarine telecommunications cable connecting with De Marne in the Netherlands.

Farm Holidays Self Catering Lodges North Yorkshire Moors
Easthill Farm House is family run and we pride ourselves on our very high standards of cleanliness and friendly personal service.
This beautiful family house has been sympathetically converted to provide three quiet, spacious and very attractive apartments. They accommodate from two to eight people and all enjoy southerly views of the gardens and beyond across the Yorkshire Wolds. An adjoining cottage, which sleeps four-plus guests, has been converted from the old coach house and stable and retains many of the original features, including open beamed ceilings.
All the apartments and cottage are self-contained each with their own private entrances. They are furnished traditionally with colour co-ordinated soft furnishings to create a warm elegant country house atmosphere. The kitchens are particularly well equipped. All bedrooms (unless otherwise stated) are en-suite with bath or shower.
Easthill Farm House and Lodges stand in two and a half acres of beautiful grounds and are situated on the eastern edge of the village, where a warm welcome awaits you. You can relax in the large landscaped gardens or for the more active, an all-weather tennis court and putting green are available. If mountain biking is your life then we have a wash off bay and a secure lock up.
For the younger members of family an adventure playground provides a safe environment in which to play. Help to feed the hens or the three little pigs which are enclosed in some of the woodland. There is also a small indoor play area with table tennis, pool table and darts. Round off the day with a charcoal grilled meal using our recently built barbecue with patio facilities. All facilities are free of charge except the hot tub, for which a nominal charge will apply.
The accommodation, the gardens and the recreational facilities all combine to provide an ideal base for a truly memorable country holiday in North Yorkshire.
We are situated in the award-winning village of Thornton-le-Dale, one of the prettiest in North Yorkshire, located within the North York Moors National Park. Thornton Beck meanders through the village with footbridges crossing to pictuesque cottages; it passes by the village square (which has a market cross and a pair of stocks!) and is bordered by a good selection of shops for daily provisions and souvenirs.
There are activities and places of interest for all ages in the area. Whether your inclinations are for walking, cycling, fishing, horse-riding, golf or tennis or for gardens, stately homes, monastic ruins, fascinating villages or magnificent views of the countryside, all are to be found nearby. The area has a very good selection of pubs and restaurants catering for a wide variety of tastes. A frequent bus service to both Pickering and Scarborough passes through the village.
