Leyburn, at
the entrance to Wensleydale, where the cheese was named after.
You can follow Wensleydale by driving along the A684, a great
drive ending up in Kedle, Cumbris.
Leyburn itself is
a small market town on the River Ure, the open-air market
is still held on Fridays. It has one of the largest auction
rooms in England, Tennants, on the local Business Park, viewing
Fridays, sale Saturdays if you are interested. There is a
good range of local shops in the town, including craft shops.
The town is linked
to its neighbour, Middleham, by a bridge, built in 1829, over
the river. The bridge was built as suspension bridge, but
was rebuilt after it collapsed.
For a good view of
the dales, take a work along the limestone terrace called
the 'Shawl', near the market place, it was the escape route
of Mary Queen Of Scots.
