Travel to Masham

[basil6345789]

Going to Masham Sheep Fair, Sunday morning. Is Blubberhouses ok now, please? Thinking of going towards Harrogate but turning left at Menwith Hill and going overland. Is this bad/narrow roads, though and would I be better going further on and turning left to Killinghall then up to Ripon? Not been up there for years. Thanks.

Blubberhouses is fine now. Been over a couple of times in last few weeks. The temp traffic lights at the roundabout as you turn right to Killinghall also now gone.

I usually go west tanfield way I like to stop on the banks of the ure & enjoy good views from marmion tower.

Whilst your suggestion to go left at Menwith Hill may look the shortest route, it’s up and down dale. I’d go via Killinghall turning left at the roundabout you come to after Menwith Hill then Ripon, it might be longer, but it’s more direct.

Thanks folks, presumably I'd go along the Ripon Bypass, then turn back, left at the last roundabout?

We go once a week over blubberhouses, then left for Killinghall then to the outskirts of Ripon, it’s a good clear run at the moment. Theres a cracking little cafe in Masham at the far corner just off the square, it was called Johnny Baghdad’s. If it’s a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy what’s going on.

Yes and at the clock tower after about half a mile, turn right.
I know the cafe Beddie refers to, it a good one.

Yes. Then take a right at the clock tower, to pass Ripon Golf Club.

Sorry stray, didn't clock your post!
