Situated in the heart of picturesque Wensleydale and on the eastern fringe of the Yorkshire Dales is the historic market town of Masham (pronounced Mass-ham). As well as its twice weekly market the town boasts two breweries, Theakstons and the Black Sheep Brewery, which has its own bistro. Both breweries offer guided tours to show how their world famous beers are produced, and there is always time for a sample at the end of each tour. Unsurprisingly, the town has many fine pubs offering real ales and home cooked food. There are several tea shops, restaurants and a traditional fish and chip shop here as well. The Wensleydale area offers superb walking and cycling routes with which to explore the stunning countryside. In July there is a Steam Engine and Fair Organ Rally which includes traction engines, miniature steam engines and the world’s largest travelling concert organ. The annual Sheep Fair at the end of September sees up to 70,000 sheep being sold. There is also the Festival of Horses held at nearby Ilton at the end of May, and in December Masham holds a tremendously popular Victorian market, a perfect time to pick up locally produced presents for Christmas. Other attractions include Jervaulx Abbey, the ruined monastery near the town, Leighton Reservoir, and Swinton Park Birds of Prey centre with its displays of falconry. For the adventurous there are opportunities in the area for rock climbing, caving and potholing, horse riding, paragliding and motor sports such as off-roading and the Harewood Hill Climb.
