The Hambleton Hills are a range of hills in North Yorkshire, which begin just north of Farlington. They form the western edge of the North York Moors but are separated from the moors by the valley of the River Rye.

Farlington is a small, picturesque farming village in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire.
The village has a 12th century church, St. Leonards, a good pub, the Blacksmith’s Arms, and has a small stream, Farlington Beck running through it.

Roasted Broccoli
It’s that time of year when purple sprouting broccoli comes into season. The shops and markets should have plenty of it on the shelves, and if you grow your own you may well have an abundance of this fresh, green brassica.
