:oops:
I knew one of them was up that way!
I agree with BTM's comment about the bikers. Some of them have a definite death wish

Thanks, a lot of the bikers are sensible, but there's always one who thinks he can overtake that car/van/truck before the opposing traffic/scary corner.
It can be the same when I go out towards 'Squires' (as linked below), but thankfully they seem to be more circumspect around (unpowered) 2-wheelers :clap: Although I have scared a few bikers in the past over-taking them down East Chevin (Otley, West Yorkshire) at over 60MPH! :shock: :shock: :shock:
Anyway, returning to the main topic;
The Green Howards Regiment museum is in Richmond, at the easterly end of the simply gorgeous Swaledale.

Richmond itself is a wonderful town, nestling on the steep banks of the River Swale.
Quite surprisingly (to the outsider), the museum is attached to a Church in the middle of the Market Square!
There's a lovely castle there too, plus when it's 'the season', Salmon can be observed jumping up the waterfall on the Swale on their way to spawn

If you go to the Creamery at Hawes, just continues east & you'll get to Richmond upon reaching Leyburn, & turning left (north) onto the A6108
Quaker:
Some of these have been covered above and others may be a bit too far east, but worth a look if they suit you.

I would highly recommend fish and chips in Whiby followed by an evening tour. In all honest though you can't really go wrong anywhere round there. You just might find that you spend time going from place to place rather than staying somewhere all day - but it depends on what you do.
