For travellers looking for a quaint little place to sleep (during summer months), Thixendale is an interesting choice. It is a reasonable driving distance from York, and provides serene country landscapes and interesting hikes in the immediate vicinity, including a popular walk to the nearby Wharram Percy, a deserted medievel village. A tiny no-frills (and no-shower) youth hostel used to serve frugal travellers, until it was closed on 1999. Other accommodation options are still available.
