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.

Wonderful inn where you can eat and drink well, but also sleep well after a long day of cycling. Good place for bikepackers.
