leyburn

Leyburn is a busy market town and civil parish in the borough of Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England sitting above the northern bank of the River Ure in Wensleydale. Historically within the North Riding of Yorkshire, the name was derived from ''Ley'' or ''Le'' (clearing), and ''burn'' (stream), meaning clearing by the stream. leyburn boasts two markets, several pubs, two banks with cash machines, and many small specialty stores. Market day is Friday. It is served by local buses that connect to Richmond, Hawes, and Bedale. The local Rotary Club sponsors the annual Wensleydale Wander in March or April. The Wander is an organised walk with two options; a shorter walk of 12 miles and a longer walk of 22 miles.
leyburn has a population of 2208 (2001 census) but this swells in summer due to its picturesque position in proximity to the Yorkshire Dales national park. It contains a range of public services, with two primary schools and a secondary school which serves the whole of Wensleydale, a police station, and a medical centre. A wide range of independently owned shops are situated around a market square with a number of pubs and bars to entertain tourists and locals. It is home to Tennant''s auction house, a small department store called Milners and others, including: Campbells supermarket, a chocolate shop, a range of oriental takeaways, electrical stores, a hunting and sports shop, and also an art shop.

Annually there is a Dales Festival of Food and Drink, held over May Day bank holiday weekend and also an annual Wensleydale Agricultural Show at the end of August.

Although a small town, Leyburn is home to a small cinema named "the Picture House" and to a railway station on the re-opened Wensleydale Railway which offers tourist rides throughout the dale, mostly on diesel multiple units but occasionally on a steam train. The town of Leyburn has got a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) antiques centre on Harmby Road. The town also has a local market in the town centre every Friday and a farmers'' market which specialises in local meats once a month.

Leyburn has also appeared in various television programmes including: The Department Store: Milners, on BBC4 in 2008, and has featured in the 1960s-set drama series, Heartbeat.
