Northallerton

On a rainy Saturday I gave the football a miss and accompanied my wife on a visit to Northallerton, a fine market town, where we followed our familiar route from the car park, up Barker’s Arcade, turning right along the High Street, crossing at the far end and returning down the opposite side before crossing again and returning to the arcade; though not far it takes a couple of hours due to frequent dodges into shops (especially in the cold and the wet) and of course a stop for lunch – today in the Lewis and Cooper tearooms.
