If you're looking for more than just a first class golf course, the
area surrounding Romanby is certain to stimulate your imagination.
Only a few minutes drive away is the picturesque market town of
Northallerton, with an impressive array of traditional
hostelries, tempting restaurants and stylish shops. Romanby Golf and Country Club has a close relationship with the Solberge Hall Hotel, located on the outskirts of Northallerton, which offers a wide range of accomodation packages. Just a little further afield, the non-golfing visitor will find much to see and do. Northallerton is part of Hambleton District, better known as Herriot Country as it is the setting for the world famous James Herriot stories written by local vet Alf Wight. Wight's home town of Thirsk, just eight miles from Northallerton, was the inspiration for the fictional town of Darrowby and features the popular visitor attraction 'The World of James Herriot'. |
