Osmotherley is a scenic village, sitting in the Hambleton Hills, on the western edge of the North York Moors National Park in North Yorkshire. It is a grand walking hub and serves as a key stop or starting point for major long-distance trails, including the Cleveland Way, the Coast to Coast Walk, and the 40-mile Lyke Wake Walk. It was also an historical drovers’ stating post On previous walks we have visited Mount Grace priory and the shrine of The Lady Chapel.
Local legend has it that Osmotherley was named after the mother of a villager known as Oswald or Osmund. When she did not return after collecting firewood, her son, Oswald, went to look for her. On finding her lying in the snow, dying and unable to carry her home, he lay down with her, and he too perished in the cold. As this is where Oswald’s mother lies, the village took on the name of Osmotherley.
