Tadcaster lies on the River Wharfe between Leeds and York. Originally named Calcaria (place of limestone) by the Romans, it was a small settlement, serving as a resting place for travellers and a staging post on the London (Londinium) to York (Eboracum) road.
Its limestone has been used since these times in many famous buildings, including a Roman fort in York and York Minster.
The high quality Tadcaster water is drunk throughout the world in the famous beers which is brewed in the three breweries sited here.
The battle of Tadcaster was fought around the Tadcaster river bridge in the Civil War and at Towton 3 miles away in 1461 a decisive battle settled the War of the Roses.
Surrounded by the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside, this market town is ideally situated as a base for touring.
