The North Yorkshire Town That's Tucked Between Two National Parks
Tucked between two National Parks, Northallerton has plenty to see and do and is perfectly placed for visitors who want to explore the stunning surrounding countryside
Eat...
Start the day right with avocado and poached eggs on sourdough at 1 Twenty 7, and get your caffeine fix at Rounton Coffee Roasters, a great independent who take sustainability seriously. There’s an outpost of the famous Bettys here and Northallerton isn’t short of good pub grub either; The Wellington Heifer and The Potting Shed have everything from light bites to classic mains. Got a sweet tooth? Dolcie Dessert Emporium stock Brymor Ice Cream as well as your favourite desserts. Towards Osmotherley, The Cleveland Tontine is the place to be for fine-dining; their dishes are packed full of flavour and make the most of fresh seasonal ingredients (many grown in their own kitchen garden).
Sleep...
Solberge Hall oozes traditional charm, and contemporary touches mean it’s your perfect base. Here you can enjoy unrivalled views of the surrounding countryside from your room. Once Northallerton’s police station, The Northallerton Inn is a cosy country pub with rooms, but if you’re looking for something a little more modern, find Katch – a 10-bedroom boutique hotel on the high street (they have a brilliant bar and serve sumptuous seafood too).
