Welcome to Yorkshire, the region’s official tourism site, prominently refers to Thornton-le-Dale as the “Jewel of the Moors”, highlighting its scenic village pond, thatched cottages, and meandering beck. The name “Thornton” likely comes from the Angles who settled Yorkshire around AD 500–540, meaning “farmstead among thorn bushes”.

The remains of this Augustinian priory include a gatehouse adorned with the De Roos family heraldry. You can also learn about the priory's role in World War II, including Winston Churchill's secret visit and its use in training and testing for D-Day.

If you are following the footpaths to the east of the main Castle Howard grounds, you won't be able to get close to this folly (railings prevent access as it is within the Castle Howard grounds), but you will still have great views of it.

Unmissable and unfortunately not well served by public footpaths or bridleways, however, the main road has sufficiently wide verges to walk safely along. If you are heading north past the Obelisk Ponds, then there is a fantastic track on the east side of the road which is flanked by lime trees forming a wonderful avenue to walk along (see photos).

Grassy track over the New River, nice views of the estate and various follies from the bridge. Per historicengland.org: "c1740. By Daniel Garrett for Henry, 4th Earl of Carlisle. Sandstone ashlar. Banded rustication to cutwaters dividing 3 stepped segmental arches each with rusticated voussoirs and a mask keystone to central arch. Niches in tooled architraves with pulvinated friezes and consoles supporting pediments flank the main arch. Brackets support cornice surmounted by low parapet with central balustrade and coping. Ramped approaches have balustrading, rusticated piers to centre, and square-section end piers."

A nice 4.6 mile stroll with a gentle incline

Thornton le Dale is a picture-perfect village in North Yorkshire known for its idyllic riverside scenery and thatched-roof cottages. It was voted the prettiest village in Yorkshire in the 1920s and 30s, and is often still regarded as one of the prettiest villages in Yorkshire today. The 'le' was added into the name to give the village a bit more marketability in the early 1900s. There are a number of great cafés, restaurants, pubs, shops and galleries in the village.

The Temple of the Four Winds was designed by Vanbrugh, although he didn't get to finish it before he died (1726). It was first used as a place to get refreshments and to read. There are gorgeous views of the hills from here as well!
