Thornton-le-Dale village
Highlight • Viewpoint
It was voted the prettiest village in Yorkshire in the 1920s and 30s, and is often still regarded as one of the prettiest villages in Yorkshire today. The 'le' was added into the name to give the village a bit more marketability in the early 1900s.
There are a number of great cafés, restaurants, pubs, shops and galleries in the village.

Thornton-le-Dale — Village Highlights
Highlight • Settlement
The thatched cottage, called Beck Isle, next to Thornton Beck, is a Grade-II listed building. There's also the beautiful All Saints' church on the eastern end of the village. Thornton Beck runs alongside the main road, a pretty spectacle in itself, and the pond in the middle of the village is a pretty sight as well.
There are places to eat and drink here, so you won't go hungry, either. Make sure you stop at this beautiful place. It's worth it!
