Mill Gardens, Thirsk, North Yorkshire
About the area
Thirsk is built around a large medieval market square, which still hosts an open air market but its modern claim to fame is as the home of the veterinary surgeon and author James Herriot, although it was renamed "Darrowby" in the books. The veterinary practice at 23 Kirkgate, in which he was a partner along with Donald Sinclair (Siegfried Farnon in the books) now houses a museum dedicated to his life and works, The world of James Herriot.
