My wife and I are pensioners and are driving from Wales to Thirsk next August with our two small dogs for a weeks holiday as the wife has always loved the James Herriot stories since a child.. I have seen that dogs are not allowed in the museum,... is anyone who has been on holiday in Thirsk with dogs and visited the museum aware of anywhere that dogs are allowed to be safely cared for during a visit to the museum, I am sure other families have come across this issue?
A:
I did not see anyone carrying a dog and there are stairs to negotiate for elements of the museum.
We are staying in the Premier Inn in Thirsk. Given that some reviews for the James Herriot museum say it can take up to three hours to do the attraction and parking seems to be for two hours would it be best to go in a taxi?
A:
If the premier inn is the one in the market place no it’s just off the market place you could walk it in 5 mins and isn’t there parking at the back of the pub that would be longer?
