CITY GUIDE – MALTON

DO: If you miss the festival, don’t fret. Book a Malton Food Tour, often hosted by Naylor-Leeland himself. You will visit around 12 different places and will get to sample something each stop.

EAT: You’ll be spoiled for choice whether it’s festival time or not. Yet make sure you visit Talbot Yard Food Court, where you’ll find a gelateria, coffee roastery, gin distillery and Malton’s very own French pastry chef, whose melt-in-your-mouth macarons you won’t soon forget.

STAY: Base yourself in York – Malton is about 30 minutes away via train – or stay at The Talbot, which was first constructed as a hunting lodge in the 1600s and features 26 cosy rooms.
