This idyllic hamlet in North Yorkshire has been flying under the radar for far too long, and it's high time that travellers discovered its quintessential English charm.

Nestled on the western fringes of the North York Moors, you'll find Osmotherley, a delightful village brimming with natural splendour. It's often the perfect pit stop for ramblers exploring the surrounding trails - a tradition that spans centuries.

With roots stretching back to the 1800s, this village was once a favoured overnight halt for Scottish cattle drovers guiding their herds southwards along the Hambleton Drove Road. Today, keen hikers tread the same path as they embark on long-distance treks through the serpentine countryside.
