The Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge

One of our favourite drives in North Yorkshire takes us across the moors from Hutton-Le-Hole to Castleton, and the Lion Inn is one of the highlights of this beautiful route. The pub is popular with walkers and travellers, and rightly so. The interior is possibly the perfect pub -- warm, cosy, comfortable. The food is very good pub food. And the beer is really very good. All in all, this is one of our favourites.

The Black Swan, York

Superb atmosphere at this pub in a timbered building close to the Shambles and the old heart of the city. Excellent beer, too. One of our annual pub stops while in Yorkshire, we thoroughly recommend this.

The Victoria, Saltburn by the Sea

Beautiful High Victorian pub with very well-kept beer. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here -- at the moment it's our favourite pub in Saltburn. Friendly lad behind the bar, comfortable and good beer -- who could want more?
