Thornton-le-Dale is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, about 3 miles east of Pickering on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. The area of the village encompasses 39.2 square kilometres.
A thatched building, called Beck Isle or Thatched Cottage and Grade II listed, was built in the 17th century and modified/extended in the 20th. The building has appeared on countless calendars and chocolate boxes over the years. A new thatched roof was installed in 2014 so it remains picturesque. A stream, the Thornton Beck, meanders along the streets and is crossed by several bridges. Much of the village was designated as a Conservation Area by the North York Moors. Thornton-le-Dale is often regarded as one of the prettiest in Yorkshire.
