Northallerton
Northallerton has picked a prime spot between two National Parks; the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales. This county town has always been a market centre for the surrounding rural area and as it has grown it has attracted light industry, agricultural businesses and commerce as well as being home to North Yorkshire County Council. Today it’s a thriving, balanced town with the wide High Street and busy market at its heart. Northallerton is close to the region’s main north-south route, the A1(M), so there’s a direct link to Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Leeds. A new home here will be in a great location for heading to work or heading for the hills.

Getting around
The A1(M) is the key route serving the town, you join it to the west at Junction 51, Leeming Bar, just over 6 miles away on the A684. To the east you’ve got the A19 which connects York with Middlesbrough. It’s great to have these two big routes within easy reach but not running through the town. The A168 takes you south to Thirsk and the A167 heads north to Darlington. The train station is on the East Coast mainline and the direct route to London King's Cross takes less than 3 hours. For domestic and international flights, Teeside Airport and Leeds Bradford Airport are your closest options.
