This is an extremely rural locality, where the northern reaches of the Vale of York meet the Howardian Hills in the southwest. The only sizeable town is Thirsk, which sits on the fringes of the Hambleton Hills and was at one time a major staging post on the London to Edinburgh route.

The original James Herriot's (Alf Wright) former surgery in Kirkgate has been converted into the World of James Herriott Centre, which features exhibits on the life and work of the famous vet as well as exploring some of the wider issues of veterinary medicine.

The North York Moors National Park starts to the east of the town and one of the most famous view points is the 960ft summit of Sutton Bank where views extend over the Vale of York as far as the Pennine Hills.
