Neighborhood info

The attractive village of Great Ayton is situated on the banks of the River Leven, on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. It was the boyhood home of the explorer Captain James Cook, who went to school in what is now the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum. The graves of the Cook family can be found in the churchyard of the ancient and beautiful 12th century All Saints Church. The village also plays host to some charming shops, as well as the famous Suggitts ice cream shop, and Petch’s Butchers.
