Leyburn is one of Yorkshire's best-kept secrets, an unspoilt market town with independent shops, restaurants, tea rooms and pubs around a large historic market place, surrounded by some of England's finest walking country. The town is famous for Leyburn Shawl, an escarpment that provides panoramic views of Wensleydale, accessible directly from the Market Place. It stretches for nearly two miles and is the start of many walks the town has to offer. Leyburn provides a perfect location for exploring Wensleydale and The Yorkshire Dales. Nearby landmarks and attractions include Aysgarth Waterfalls, Bolton Castle, Middleham Castle and The Forbidden Corner family attraction. Leyburn is a Tour de France town, hosting the Le Grand Depart in 2014 and is a Tour de Yorkshire town for 2018.
