Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Leyburn

Located in the Dales of Northern England lies the Yorkshire Dales village of Leyburn, a quaint historic market town offering some ruggedly attractive Dales holiday cottages for visitors. The town sits in Lower Wensleydale amongst some of Yorkshire’s best walking trails. For example, you shouldn’t miss Leyburn’s Shawl walk, where you’ll learn more about the Mary Queen of Scots. The walk offers a beautiful view over the town and the Dales countryside above it. Then, it drops into a stroll of about seven miles, returning to Leyburn.

Visit the three exquisite art galleries dotted around the town, all hosting fine work by artists living locally and from other areas. Enjoy a genuine market town experience with friendly stalls, independent boutiques, and shops decorating the cobbled streets.

Step into the Yorkshire Dales history and heritage and visit Jervaulx Abbey, a tranquil destination not far from the pretty (or dramatic depending on water levels) Aysgarth Waterfalls, which makes a beautiful day out for the family. Take a picnic and camp at the peaceful water’s edge of the rushing river.

For something more unusual but equally as captivating, visit the Forbidden Corner, billed as the Strangest Place in the World. This trail of bizarre statues and tunnels will have the whole family entertained for hours. However, its popularity grows every year, and tickets must be booked in advance.
