If you're looking for more than just a first class golf course, the
area surrounding Romanby is certain to stimulate your imagination.
Only a few minutes drive away is the picturesque market town of
Northallerton, with an impressive array of traditional
hostelries, tempting restaurants and stylish shops.
Just a little further afield, the non-golfing visitor will find much to see and do. Northallerton is
part of Hambleton District, better known as Herriot Country as it is the setting
for the world famous James Herriot stories written by local vet Alf
Wight. Wight's home town of Thirsk, just eight miles from
Northallerton, was the inspiration for the fictional town of Darrowby and features the popular visitor attraction 'The World of James
Herriot'. |

towns of Bedale, Easingwold, Stokesley and Great Ayton, plus

To the east is Captain Cook Country, offering the beauty of the The North York Moors
and a breathtaking coastline. To the west lie the delights of the
Yorkshire Dales National Park. The historic city of York is
just 39 miles south of Northallerton, while the world famous shopping
