In Sutton village is the workshop of the late 'beaver' man, Colin Allmack, famous for high quality hand-made furniture. You may also visit the workshop of the 'mouse' man at Kilburn, who originated the idea of carving a small creature as a trade mark on each piece. The town of Thirsk has hotels, cafes, restaurants, and take-aways, and the town square has open markets on Mondays and Saturdays. Thirsk is perhaps best known as the real life Darrowby of James Heriot's veterinary practice, and the former veterinary practice in Kirkgate is now preserved as a museum. The small but perfectly formed Thirsk Museum itself lies on the opposite side of the road.
