We went to the nearby town of Thirsk. It sounded like a Norse name,
and in fact the name comes from Viking (Old Norse) word þresk
which means fen or lake. It's a small village of about 5000 people
with a few blocks of stores in the center of town. We stopped by a
cheese shop there to get some examples of local cheeses. I walked
down the street to the veterinary practice of James Wight, who wrote
under the pen name of James Herriot (All Creatures Great and Small).
It is now a musuem to Herriot. We also walked around town a bit.
