Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Boroughbridge

The town of Boroughbridge lies on the banks of the rivers Tutt and Ure in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire. With the Yorkshire Dales National Park to its west and the North York Moors National Park to its east, this welcoming community is the perfect base to explore the region. Boroughbridge developed as an important stop for stagecoaches, thanks to its location on the Great North Road between Edinburgh and London. It is known for its fine historic architecture, including the Market Well and Hall Square, and its ancient landmarks, such as the standing stones known as the Devil’s Arrows. Exploring the thriving high street from your holiday cottage in Boroughbridge, you will discover a variety of independent shops and some of the area’s best places to eat and drink. Wander past the former fishermen’s homes huddled around a cobbled square before delving into the town’s fascinating heritage at the museum. Surrounding holiday cottages in Boroughbridge, the unspoiled countryside of the Vale of York consists of gentle hills and patchworks of wheat fields, while the more rugged hills and valleys of the national parks are just a short drive away.
