Bagby
A rural village at the foot of the Hambleton Hills situated just two miles from the famous market town of Thirsk, Bagby is one of North Yorkshire’s best kept secrets.
Surrounded on all sides by wide-open spaces, Bagby’s easy access to the vast range of facilities in Thirsk makes the village a haven for families who want to leave urban living behind while still enjoying modern conveniences and easy access to some of the UK’s most popular cities.
Boasting a local pub, church, children’s play area and historic airfield, and with a twice weekly market, train station, supermarkets, racecourse, 24 hour leisure centre and cinema all just a short drive away, Bagby offers a blend of town and country living like nowhere else.
Schools
Several primary schools, all rated ‘good’ by Ofsted, are located nearby, while Thirsk School and Sixth Form College provides schooling options for older children within the local vicinity.
Further afield, Outwood Academy Easingwold is a 16 minute drive away and the highly regarded independent schools of Cundall Manor, Queen Mary’s, Yarm School and Ampleforth College are all within easy access.
For young adults, York and Harrogate’s excellent colleges are just a short commute away, with York college recognised as being one of the best in the country.
Hospitality
Bagby caters for young and old alike, with Monk Park Farm and Petting Zoo and the Bagby Children’s Play Area both perfect for children, while the popular Greyhound at Bagby pub serves a wide selection of food and drinks for adults.
The surrounding area of Thirsk caters for a huge number of hobbies with fishing lakes and a golf course among the year-round favourites. For those who enjoy walking or cycling, the stunning, natural beauty spots of the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales are both easily accessible from Bagby.
Leeds and York provide Bagby’s residents with everything you’d expect to find in a major city, from a huge variety of top-quality restaurants, shops and entertainment, to world-renowned sporting venues, museums and green spaces.
