Osmotherley is an extremely attractive village, named after “Asmundrelac” - Norse for Asmund’s clearing. It is famous for its stone clad houses, market cross, and Wesleyan Methodist chapel from 1754. From an agricultural basis the town doubled in population with the advent of the weaving industry (Cote Ghyll Mill /Youth Hostel was a mill until 1915).  With several pubs and shops, some may like to rest a day here. Close by is Mount Grace Priory, a Carthusian foundation dating from 1398, and still in use.
