Eden Camp Museum occupies a former Second World War prisoner-of-war camp a mile north of Malton, and its huts now hold one of Britain's most extensive collections on the conflict. Visitors walk through restored buildings that trace the war years, making it a draw for school groups, families and anyone interested in 20th-century history. The museum sits just outside the town, so it pairs naturally with Malton's other attractions. Malton itself, on the York to Scarborough line, has become Yorkshire's food town, with Talbot Yard off Yorkersgate housing a pasta maker, bakery, coffee roastery, gelato counter and charcuterie business, most open from around 9am and shut by 4pm. The monthly food market on the second Saturday fills Market Place, and the Food Lovers Festival over the late May bank holiday brings 30,000 people to a town of 5,000. Trains run roughly hourly, 25 minutes to York and 25 to Scarborough, which makes hotels near Eden Camp Museum a practical base for exploring the county without a car.
