The historic medieval market town of Guisborough has something for all. Set within the gateway to the North Yorkshire Moors, this tranquil township has a host of specialist shops, eating establishments and places of interest for you to enjoy. 

Holding a prominent position on Westgate, you will find the historic building of Sunnyfield House which is open to the public for light refreshment on market days. Situated behind Sunnyfield House on Westgate Road you will find Guisborough Museum which houses some of the artifacts of years gone by. Also situated on Westgate, a specialist market is held every second Saturday of the month. Regular markets take place each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Guisborough also spelt as Gisborough was once the capital of Cleveland and its broad cobbled street is the focus of the town's shops, pubs and eating places. Guisborough is also an ideal base to tour the surrounding coast and countryside of North Yorkshire and Tees Valley.

The nearby Guisborough Forest & Walkway Visitor Centre is a useful stopping off point before venturing off into the forest.

Standing defiantly amongst the trees and roofs of this delightful market town you will see the striking outline of the 12th Century Guisborough Priory. Seperated from the town by a high wall, this Priory's grounds are a secret garden and perfect for picnics.

Whether it's shopping, relaxation, walking, cycling, action or adventure, Guisborough is a perfect place to start.

Nearby places include the prominent landmark of Roseberry Topping and Great Ayton, the boyhood home of Captain James Cook.
