Parking in Leyburn
The Leyburn Walkers Are Welcome Group asks walkers visiting the town to use the long-stay car park behind the Golden Lion Hotel. This provides easy access to the town and town walks for a small charge. Parking in and around the Market Place is free but is designed for shoppers and short-stay visitors. If you are going on a walk of more than two hours, please consider the needs of local shoppers and use the long-stay car park. Thank you.
