This Award Winning Floral Market Town has many treasures to explore including panoramic scenery and historic architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wetherby’s origins are as a staging post for travellers through the centuries between Edinburgh and London, and right next to the recently widened A1(M), it’s still an excellent place to spend a while if you’re travelling North or South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it has developed into a busy market town, and still retains its Thursday Market, granted by Royal Charter in 1240.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For fans of the Sport of Kings (horse racing to the rest of us!) Wetherby also has a fine racecourse, famous for it’s National Hunt (jumps) racing, which also in recent years has added flat racing through the summer too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
