 Situated in the idyllic village of Thornton-le-Dale, Beck Isle Cottage really is a sight to behold. Sitting by the gorgeous Thornton Beck, the thatched, chocolate box cottage is potentially the most photographed home in Yorkshire (if not the UK) – thanks to its old worldly charm and postcard-perfect exterior.

Much of the village is now designated as a Conservation Area by the North York Moors – a testament to Thornton-le-Dale’s beauty as a whole – meaning the cottage fits right in with its wondrous surroundings. And while we don’t have the details regarding who lives there (if anybody does), we have to say, we’re very jealous of Beck Isle Cottage’s owners.

2. Knaresborough

Dating back to the 5th century, Knaresborough is one of Yorkshire’s prettiest market towns due to its unique placement – overlooking the beautiful River Nidd. The small market town has everything that a visitor could desire and more, with glorious pubs, a quaint town centre and small cafes and independent shops to experience during a visit.

Romantic, huh? Whilst on the River Nidd, you can’t help being inspired by the 78ft arches that make up the viaduct – which transports the railway line over the gorge. The viaduct is probably Knaresborough in North Yorkshire’s most unique feature of all, providing the old-worldly charm that resembles a 19th-century romance novel.

3. Malham

One of the Yorkshire Dales’ most popular circular walks, the North Yorkshire walk takes you from Malham to Janet’s Foss, on to the iconic Gordale Scar and up to Malham Cove. The fractured limestone produces a unique spooky environment that is a breathtaking vantage point from which to overlook God’s Own Country.

Head down the steep steps to complete your 4-mile circular back to Malham where you can visit one of its lovely pubs such as the Lister Arms for a well-earned bevvie.
