Rosedale Show
Founded in 1871, this intimate show at Milburn Arms Field in the heart of Rosedale Abbey showcases heavy horses, cattle, goats, vintage tractors and local produce against the backdrop of a former ironstone mining valley.
A compact moorland village whose modest ruined priory turret, award-winning pub, and deep industrial-pastoral history reward a purposeful half-day stop on any North York Moors circuit.
