Discover Leyburn
The Jewel of Wensleydale

Leyburn is a beautifully unspoilt North Yorkshire town and one of the principal gateways to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.  It's a wonderful holiday location and an all-year-round short-break destination, offering visitors a refreshing collection of independent shops, quality accommodation, traditional pubs and excellent cafes and restaurants all situated round a large market place. It is set amid some of England's most beautiful walking country - and is only 20 minutes from the A1.


Wensleydale is rich in culture, heritage and natural beauty and Leyburn provides the perfect location to discover the countryside that so captivated the young James Herriot. Once discovered you'll want to return again and again.


Leyburn puts you within reach of all the wonders of the Yorkshire Dales, including The Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent; the famous waterfalls of Aysgarth, Hardraw Force and Ingleton, and many man-made wonders including Richmond, Bolton and Middleham castles; Fountains Abbey and Jervaulx Abbey, and the awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct.
