Bramblewick wasn’t particularly inspired by one moorland village, but by several that I’ve visited over the years. I took little bits from Goathland and some from Thornton-le-Dale, which sits on the southern edge of the national park, as well as a few others, and created my ideal little village nestling on the Moors. I loved the idea of the main row of shops, the pub at the end of the row, and sheep wandering around, which I found in Goathland. From Thornton-le-Dale I borrowed the beck running through the village, and the little stone bridge that crosses it, plus the village green. There are so many beautiful villages in and around the North York Moors, so it’s well worth a visit!
