Middleham in North Yorkshire is a compact, historic market town tucked into Wensleydale at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Its ruined Middleham Castle, once held by the Neville family and linked to the young Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III), gives the village a distinctly medieval character amid stone houses, independent shops and traditional pubs.
Today Middleham is perhaps best known as a centre for racehorse training, with dozens of yards and gallops on the surrounding moorland, and the racing industry alongside tourism and hillwalking shapes the local economy and social life. The result is a place where historic charm sits next to trainers’ lorries and busy race mornings, popular with visitors seeking both history and countryside activity.
