You'd be hard pushed to imagine a prettier village than Thornton-le-Dale, also known as Thornton Dale, in North Yorkshire. It could hardly be more quintessentially British, with its beautiful village green, the meandering beck running through its heart, and traditional thatched cottages. Located close to the market town of Pickering, it boasts some excellent cafes, restaurants and pubs, and is a great base from which to explore the surrounding countryside. The average house price in Thornton Dale is £384,139, according to Rightmove.
