Things to do in Masham
Explore the secrets of this elegant Dales market town.
This lively market town at the foot of Wensleydale is the perfect place to visit for a great day out with lots of things to see and do.
Steeped in history, it boasts one of the oldest markets in the country, first appointed by charter in 1250 and still a bustling community hub every Wednesday and Saturday when it charms visitors and locals alike.
Visit one of the town's breweries for an insight into the making of Masham's ever-popular beers and ales and explore the history of brewing in Masham.
You will be taken aback by the grandeur of the market square. The elegant Georgian houses date from a time when a booming sheep industry made the area very wealthy. Nearby woodland areas are home to strange curiosities of yesteryear with stone circles or faux temples in beautiful settings.
These share the landscape with actual historic sites of great Cistercian Monasteries and mysterious prehistoric stone circles.
Stretch your legs and try some of the wonderful walks which take in the historic landmarks in and around the area.
