All about Thirsk
The whitewashed brick cottages of the North Yorkshire market town of Thirsk ring a cobblestoned village square with a late-19th-century clock tower. Remnants of Thirsk’s past as a medieval market town are scattered throughout; a walk through town may take you past 15th-century churches as well as castle ruins. Thirsk’s charms are not all historical; you’ll eat well here, too, and many of the pubs and restaurants specialize in traditional local dishes such as Yorkshire pudding, curd tarts, and pork pies.
Sandwiched between the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Park, Thirsk is also a popular jumping-off point for outdoor activities like hiking and cycling. From here, all of North Yorkshire is easy to explore, whether you’re planning a day trip to the nearby coastal communities of Sunderland and Scarborough or want to delve into the bustling cities of York or Leeds.
What are the top things to do in Thirsk?
Aldborough Roman Site
At these open-air ruins 23 kilometres south of town, you can wander amid mosaic pavements from the Roman era, when Aldborough was the site of the Brigantes’ tribal capital. Some of the archaeological finds here date back 1,800 years. In addition to the ruins, you can stroll through a Victorian-era arboretum and visit the on-site museum, which displays a comprehensive collection of artifacts recovered from the area.
North York Moors National Park
Less than 10 minutes outside of town, the North York Moors National Park is a sprawling wilderness area rife with hiking trails, cycling routes, and opportunities for exploration. Stretching east from the Yorkshire interior to the rugged coast between Scarborough and Middlesbrough, the park’s diverse ecologies range from moors and wooded dales to rocky shores. As you hike or bike along the trails, check out the historical sites throughout the park, some of which date back to the Iron Age.
Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden
When the Studley Royal Water Garden was constructed in the early 18th century, the builders artfully incorporated the 12th-century ruins of Fountains Abbey. You can spend a leisurely morning here, meandering amid the mirror ponds, sprawling lawns, and statues before settling beside the river for a scenic picnic. In addition to wandering the wooded hills and groomed gardens, you’re free to explore the ruins, now a World Heritage Site.
