Thirsk is a traditional market town situated in North Yorkshire, England, nestled between the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. The town's history dates back to medieval times, and its historic marketplace continues to host a twice-weekly market, maintaining a tradition that spans centuries.

Thirsk is perhaps best known as the home of the veterinary surgeon and author James Herriot (pen name of James Alfred Wight), who based his popular books on his experiences in the local area. The town's cultural heritage is reflected in its well-preserved Georgian and Victorian architecture, particularly around the cobbled Market Place.

The town maintains strong connections to its rural surroundings and agricultural heritage, which have shaped its development and cultural identity over time.
