The Lion Inn on remote Blakey Ridge is a 16th Century freehouse owned and run by the Crossland family since 1980. Located at the highest point of the North York Moors National Park, it stands at an elevation of 1,325 feet offering breathtaking views over the valleys of Rosedale and Farndale.
Open fires burn all day and evening in the ancient fireplaces. The original low beamed ceilings add to the friendly atmosphere of the Inn.
The bar is well known for its good selection of quality real ales which include Black Sheep Best Bitter, Theakston's Best Bitter, our award winning Old Peculier, Copper Dragon's Golden Pippin, Thwaites Wainwright Bitter and a range of regularly changing guest ales. An extensive menu is offered including special vegetarian dishes, children's meals and daily Chef's Specials - served all day, every day from 12 noon until 10pm.
For that special occasion, eg anniversaries, Christmas parties or the special intimate dinner, The Lion Inn has three candlelit dining rooms. Bookings for coach parties are catered for with our Party Menus. The restaurants can get very busy - pre-booking is strongly recommended.
