It's a lovely place to spend an afternoon walking, fishing, bird watching, enjoying a pub. Great starting point for visits to Knaresborough, York etc. We stopped as a nice half way point between Leeds and Redcar

We stopped here just to break our journey to Hadrians Wall. We wouldn't have been here otherwise, but it proved a very good stopping off point and a pleasant place to relax in. We bought provisions for our self-catering stay at Appleby's pork butchers and food for the journey/lunch when we got to our holiday cottage. The individual pork pies with black pudding were excellent. They do the best savoury duck I've ever had - at 85p this is a bargain and feeds two (look up savoury duck if you're not a Northerner - it's like a small haslet - do you need to look that up too? - sort of pate combined with a haggis best describes it.) We had really good lamb chops from them and smoked bacon. Called in again on our return. Lots of cafes in Boroughbridge - one in particular caters for cyclists and uses bike parts in its decor and does good value food to eat in or take away. We had a drink at the Black Bull, a classic old-style pub. It was very quiet when we were there (late Thursday evening) but very welcoming. Their summer pale ale was a lovely bright refreshing drink. Walk between Boroughbridge and Aldeburgh takes about 15 minutes and there is a pleasant pub serving a range of beers including Theakstons. The Theakstones light was a bit lifeless compared with more modern craft beers, but OK. The Roman Town is at Aldeburgh, well signposted but only open Frday, Saturday and Sunday. Check out the two charity shops too, and the shop selling real brushes and brooms and metal dustpans, and coir doormats. There is also an excellent hardware shop with just about everything you might need (we bought some coat hooks) We stayed at the Crown - comfortable, good value, recently refurbished in witty luxurious style. Good food and helpful staff.

Lovely little town with everything you need. Plenty of excellent pubs, restaurants, takeaways and a large Morrisons. Good location for North Yorkshire and the moors. Easy to get to just of the A1(M)

Boroughbridge is on the river Ure and there is an interesting weir just over the road from the Grantham Arms. A variety of pubs but not many restaurants. Central to visiting tourist places - North Yorkshire Dales/Moors, York Minster, Pickering (for steam railway), Fountains Abbey etc.

Individual shops, excellent location, locals ever so friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. A surprise, and just off the motorway too. Excellent staging area for North York Moors, Dales and York.....our first but not last visit.

Beautiful and scenic little town with very good cafes, restaurants and pubs. We ate at the Grantham Arms which provided an evening meal of excellent quality and at a much higher standard than the fayre offered by most pubs.
