Thornborough Henges an important Neolithic site close to Masham
One of the places I had read about but never really visited as I felt without being in a helicopter there would be nothing to see was Thornborough Henges between Ripon and Masham. This unique Neolithic (new stone age) site sitting on a plateau above the River Ure consists of three massive circular henges built about 4,500 years ago over an even earlier monument.

The Arncliffe Circular – a high loop across limestone country in the Dales
Littondale is a lovely little Dale which can be accessed from Wharfedale near Kilnsey Crag or from the high road over Malham Moor. The start point of the walk was the small village of Arncliffe with the quirkly little pub The Falcon Inn sitting on the village green. I often make a stop here on my All Creatures Great & Small Tours as Arncliffe actually plays part of Darrowby in the new TV series and the back of Skeldale House.
