Wow , just watched this . Its a large town . I loved the Harriet series .he did say it was a novel with actual like events . Tv gave the illusion this was a very small yown .it doesn't look that way . Thankyou enjoyed the walk .
The earlier Herriot series was filmed in other Yorkshire towns such as Askrigg in Wensleydale. That is a smaller and, arguably, more picturesque place than Thirsk.
I was there in 2013. Didn't realize how long a walk it was from the train station, along the race course. Having read all the Herriot books, that's where I was headed. It was quite an experience for me, a Canadian, being in the place where my mind had been having experienced the books.
I am going to Thirsk in October. What a great video! Showed me a lot of things I'd not seen before as well as some lodging, parking, and shopping! Love your videos!❤
Very well done. I never met Dr. Wight, but did talk to him 8n the early 90's by phone from Sanford florida. I have all his books and he sent me autograph plates to insert in them. A lovely man, gone to soon.😢
A nice ancient town, thanks for the trip - I liked your joke about iced fingers 😂😂 And just how many ancient towns have a road called 'Finkle' ? What on earth is a Finkle 😅
I have only seen the name Finkle in northern towns. Elsewhere on the Internet I read that "The Danish language, along with the Old Norse tongue, contained words such as finkle or vincle which implied a corner, bend or angle, particularly one in a narrow, winding street. The word can also mean crooked as in bent, or a short winding street."
Was there last year for my first visit to Yorkshire. Went to the James Herriot Experience and loved it. We were there on market day so it was very busy. St Mary's church was where Alf Wright (James Herriot) was married.
Thirsk is a cute little market town HOWEVER, take heed to the fact that no matter what time or day you visit you will likely be stuck in traffic congestion on the main road that slices its way through the town itself. Also, there isn't that much to do in Thirsk. You can probably get round all the shops in a couple of hours and it's always full of motorbikers and tourists. That aside, it's a very picturesque and friendly-ish town. I would recommend Bianco's Italian restaurant. The staff and food are amazing.
@@GimbalWalkTV if you want a non quiet night and a quiet pint, go to the fleece, its more expensive and posh but its better than having loads of screaming and shouting from people in the bull, its rough in there to say the least, coming from a thirsk student, whos lived in thirsk all their life, don't go in there.
@@user-pq4dv6xf8u it is enlightened if you think this is an attractive town genius. Have watched years of walk vids of cities around the world too many to list, same with England but towns in the Lake district and Cornwall to name a few. Whether a town is attractive or not is subjective, just like art so talking dumb to a stranger behind a keyboard is weak
@@GimbalWalkTV Thirsk may not be the most beautiful town, but there are some fine buildings and you highlighted a few of the interesting ones. You can still visit the site of the Norman Castle, which is another bit of history, though there isn't much to see now.

You should start a scrap book & collect postcards from every place you visited & write something about it
not a bad idea! I've got something similar on Google Maps

LOVE Iced Fingers (not mine though!)

Have you been to Richmond north Yorkshire, it has a old castle, a river, it's known as a military town, with Cattrick garrison near by at cattrick
Normally when you see a blue plaque, it means that somebody famous as been in the courthouse.🏴
Oh crikey!

Actually this is so true - I got stuck in traffic too!
Have you been to " Helmsley North Yorkshire , also just outside of Helmsley is " Eden camp " was used in the ww2.
Isn't Eden Camp nearer to Malton?
What's gud about UK is weather..always raining and windy..which keeps sand on road intact..and dont let the city to get dirty..
The town’s name sounds like it could’ve been coined by Popeye the Sailor-“I’m Thirsk-y”.🇺🇸
🤣🤣
❤👍👍👍
Top tip never go into the black bull at night
Oh no - how come?

Next time issue a warning before you do a close up of a Bakery!... You make people Salivate! 😋🥐🫓🥖🥯🥨
🤣 I didn't want to carry on with the walk - I wanted to head in and buy ALL the cakes
