Yorkshire’s Food Capital

Welcome to Malton, proudly known as “Yorkshire’s Food Capital”. This vibrant town is a year-round foodie destination, celebrated for its local produce, award-winning monthly Food Markets, and the annual Food Lovers Festival. Indulge in delights from ice cream parlours, hidden gin bars, craft breweries, and artisan bakeries offering freshly baked macarons and bread. You’ll find a range of cafés and pubs where you can enjoy locally grown food served in delicious meals.

Beyond its culinary fame, Malton boasts a charming Market Place filled with independent retailers offering an eclectic mix of unique gifts, homewares, clothing, and antiques. The town also hosts weekly markets and monthly arts and crafts markets, so you have plenty of opportunities to indulge in some retail therapy.

Malton is also the gateway to North Yorkshire’s stunning coastline and the breathtaking North York Moors National Park. Nearby, the Howardian Hills offer picturesque landscapes perfect for exploring on foot or by bike.  The town is also an excellent base from which to visit some of North Yorkshire’s most popular attractions including lavender farms, stately homes and fascinating museums.

Across the river lies Norton-on-Derwent, a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Surrounded by  countryside dotted with racing stables, Norton is the gateway to the Yorkshire Wolds, a tranquil chalk landscape with picturesque villages, undisturbed walking, horse-riding, and cycling trails. Discover the mysterious remains of a medieval village as you explore this beautiful region.
