St. Alkeldas Road, Middleham

Situation and Amenities
Middleham is an ancient, mediaeval town with a deep history dating back to Richard III, located on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and nestled between two rivers, the Ure and Cover. There is an original hill fort at William's Hill, dating back prior to the magnificent castle of Middleham, built in 1190 and boasting the largest castle keep in the North of England. The centre of the town has a charming cobbled market square with tearooms and galleries, along with pubs, a shop and primary school. Middleham is also famed for its rich horse racing heritage, being home to 16 stables and gallops for leading flat and National Hunt racehorses.
The market town of Leyburn is situated approximately 2 miles away, where there are many excellent local and artisan shops, a weekly outdoor market, filling station, doctor’s surgery, dentist, primary and secondary schools. It is also home to Tennants Auctioneers, on the eastern outskirts of the town. There are also various independent schools within striking distance including Aysgarth Preparatory School, Queen Mary’s School for girls at Thirsk, Ampleforth, Sedbergh and other excellent independent schools in Harrogate and York.
With Leyburn known as the gateway to the Dales, it benefits hugely from tourism and has good communications and relatively easy access from the A1 at Leeming Bar. The nearest train station is at Northallerton (17 miles) with a regular service on the East Coast Main Line to York, Newcastle, London or Edinburgh. Leeds Bradford (50 miles) is the nearest international airport but there are an increasing number of services now being offered from Teesside Airport (38 miles).
