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

Situated on the main square, opposite some decent cycle parking this is a decent place to get breakfast. I had poached eggs on toast - very well cooked. There is some cycle themed memorabilia in the café which adds a nice touch.

An award-winning museum dedicated to the life, books and TV series of Alf Wright - the Yorkshire vet better known as James Herriot. It is the original 1940's home and practice better known as Skeldale House, although the film location is in Askrigg.

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'.

Black Horse Inn 18 miles into the ride Kirkby Fleetham, Northallerton DL7 0SH . The Sunday lunch looked very inviting however we still had to cycle back. We asked if they could make us a snack, we had a roast beef sandwich with chips and salad. There was enough to feed the village hehe. We were well looked after and worth a second visit we have done.
