Spectacularly situated at one of the highest points in the North York Moors National Park, the Lion is a 16th-century inn that serves good food and offers bed and breakfast accommodation. Occupying an elevated perch at 1,325 feet (404 m) on Blakey Ridge, the inn enjoys excellent views of Rosedale and Farndale. It's a marvellously remote objective for any walk on the beautiful moors.

Nice place to stop for a pint and snack

A good place to stop for a break on the way through the moor for hikers. The Coast to Coast Path leads past it; if you still have to go further, you can take a break here. Otherwise there is also the option of staying overnight here and thus sharing the stage.
