The market town of Malton sits on the banks of the River Derwent in North Yorkshire and still bears visible traces of its long history, from the Roman fort of Derventio to medieval street patterns and churchyards. It lies close to the stately home of Castle Howard and is paired with the neighbouring settlement of Norton, with rail links that make York and Scarborough easily reachable for commuters and visitors.
Today Malton is as well known for a lively food and market culture as for its past: independent bakeries, butchers and seasonal markets, plus an annual food festival, have earned it a reputation as one of Yorkshire’s food hubs. The local economy still leans on agriculture and tourism, and the town retains a strong community feel with museums, galleries and regular events that draw both locals and day-trippers.
