Easingwold

If you are looking for picturesque surroundings and excellent local food in Yorkshire, then Easingwold offers all this and more. Conveniently located in the middle of North Yorkshire, Easingwold is a good base from which to explore the Yorkshire Moors, the Dales, the stunning city of York and many other designations around the area.

The town has all the local amenities you could want with scenic views stretching for miles beyond the town boundaries. Locally renowned as a food lover's paradise, Easingwold has a number of independent retailers in and around the town that specialise in locally produced, quality food and drink. The first Wednesday of each month brings the Farmers Market with meats, cheeses, preserves and more.

The Fine Foods of Yorkshire delicatessen in the town centre is an award winning deli offering a selection of local foods and the Tea Hee tearooms has been listed by "The Times" as one of the best tearooms in England, with cakes and pastries to die for.

For more formal dining, try the Durham Ox in nearby Crayke, which has won 'pub of the year' more than once. Also near to the town, the Michelin listed Black Swan in Oldstead offers fine contemporary dining in a truly splendid rural setting.
