Thirn...

Here in the lower reaches of Wensleydale the Pennine peaks have been left behind, but still dominate the western horizon, and the river Ure begins its slow and twisting journey southward into the Vale of York.  The countryside is rich rolling farmland with verdant, tree lined meadows, glorious cornfields and deciduous woods interspersed with stately houses and formal parkland. A softer landscape than the dales, running along the edge of the vale from Richmond in the north to Ripon in the south.

There are many small and attractive villages to discover in the nearby area and lots of leisure and pleasure opportunities to enjoy both indoors and outdoors.  Thirn is a small, linear village nestling halfway between the cobbled market towns of Bedale and Masham, gateways to the dales. A sleepy village, in a tranquil setting, away from main roads, but within easy reach of the dales and the Vale of York.
