Malton Museum offers an interesting variety of public guided walking tours around the town’s historic centre.

This tour around the centre of Malton explores the relationship of both Malton and Norton with the horse, from having the largest horse markets in the country from medieval times onwards to the many 18th century coaching inns and its fame as one of the most successful horse racing towns in the land in the mid-19th century when the description ‘more stables than beds’ was not far wrong. The tour covers key buildings and spaces in the town which are part of the story.

The tour takes about 90 minutes.  The maximum size of a group is 20.

Cost £10.00 per person, includes an information pack.
