Lime Tree House, Leyburn

Situation and Amenities
Set between the market towns of Leyburn (approx. 4 miles) and Bedale (approx. 5 miles), Finghall benefits from a pub and a family-run mechanics' garage, in the heart of the village. It is only about 4 miles from the market town of Leyburn where there are many excellent local and artisan shops, a weekly outdoor market, filling station, doctor’s surgery, dentist, primary and secondary schools and a sixth form college. It is also home to one of the largest auction houses in the UK with Tennants Auctioneers on the eastern outskirts of the town.
There are various independent schools within striking distance including Aysgarth Preparatory School, Queen Mary’s School for girls at Thirsk, Ampleforth and Sedbergh.
With Leyburn known as the gateway to the Dales, it benefits hugely from tourism and has good communications and easy access to the A1(M) North / South at Leeming Bar (6 miles). The nearest train station is at Northallerton (about 14 miles) with a regular service on the east coast main line to York, Newcastle, London or Edinburgh. Leeds Bradford is the nearest international airport but there are an increasing number of services now being offered from Teesside International Airport only 30 miles away. Buses connect Leyburn to Richmond, Hawes, Bedale and Ripon.
