Pallet Hill Summit

Pallet Hill 186.61m P27.7 (612ft)
County of Yorkshire Definitive List Summit

Tip by

12.4 km

Close to this bridge I was able to park the car, away from the town centre car parking that you have to pay for, which is £1.40 per hour as of April 2024. There are plenty spaces besides the houses. This bridge has small single tracks running parallel to the river

Thirsk Market Place and Clock Tower

Highlight • Rest Area

The market place here in Thirsk is its vibrant centre full of cafes and an open air market on Mondays and Saturdays.

It is famous for its racecourse and the former home of James Herriot, vet and author of the books which inspired 'All Creatures Great and Small', the hit BBC series. His house and vet surgery are now a museum, 'The World of James Herriot'.

We started our tour at this car park which is in the centre of Thirsk. Very clean and well looked after toilets across the road from the car park.

Castle Lodge is quite an impressive building to look at. Built on the sides of a daunting hill, on slightly open land in front, the views from the castle must be impressive
