Masham is a small market town in North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the north bank of the River Ure at the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Its compact centre of stone buildings and market square reflects medieval roots and a long agricultural past, and the surrounding moors and rivers make it a popular base for walkers and anglers.
The town is famed for its brewing tradition - both Theakston and Black Sheep breweries are based there - and for a lively local calendar of agricultural shows, beer festivals and the revived Masham sheep fair that celebrate rural life. Nearby country estates such as Swinton Park add a stately dimension, while farming, tourism and small independent shops and cafés sustain a friendly, community-focused economy.
