There are plenty of tearooms in the area. You can hardly fail to find one to satisfy you. For tea and an afternoon out, try the Walled Garden in Helmsley, homemade cakes and great hot chocolate, or take a ride over the moors and finish off with tea at the Moors Centre Danby and a walk. For an old fashioned hotel style tea you could try the Grange at Lastingham after paying a visit to the famously pretty village of Hutton le Hole (which also has a pet-friendly pub and a museum). Or for an adventure, go to Trenchers or The Magpie in Whitby for the fish and chips of a lifetime.

There are still many traditional market towns in the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding areas for you to visit. They are a great place to pick up quality fresh local produce as well as a good place to get a feel for the local scene.
Why not take a trip to the indoor market at Appleby? Or travel just outside the Dales to the outdoor market at Northallerton which lines the long broad high street every Wednesday and Saturday creating a bustling market atmosphere, attracting visitors from afar.
