About Thirsk
Thirsk is a traditional market town in North Yorkshire. It is 8 miles south east of Northallerton and 18 miles north east of Harrogate. Both the York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales are close by, making Thirsk the ideal place to get out and explore the best of the Yorkshire countryside.
Closer to the town centre, you’ll find shorter walks along the river, and you can also head up to the Hambleton Hills for more challenging hikes. In the town centre there is a charming cobbled market square, home to many independent shops. The town is also famous for Thirsk Racecourse – a picturesque venue for horse racing.
