"Leyburn is a small market town in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England. It sits quite high above the northern bank of the river Ure in Wensleydale. The name was derived from 'Ley' or 'Le' (clearing), and 'burn' (stream), meaning clearing by the stream."

Leyburn became Scarsburn in the James Herriot books.
