Malton

Malton is a compact market town in North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the banks of the River Derwent and framed by the Howardian Hills and the North York Moors. It lies on the rail line to York and Scarborough, making it both a commuter base and a handy stop for visitors.

With Roman roots at Derventio and surviving medieval and Georgian streets, Malton has long been a market centre; today it’s especially noted for its food culture - farmers’ markets, independent producers and an annual food festival - while tourism, local retail and proximity to attractions such as Castle Howard help sustain the town’s economy and community life.
