Dog Amenities
A Wensleydale Coaching Inn
The Blue Lion in East Witton is a handsome 18th-century coaching inn on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. With flagstone floors, roaring fires and an excellent kitchen, it strikes the perfect balance between country pub and fine dining. Dogs are welcome in the bar and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.
The food is outstanding, earning consistent recognition in national guides. The kitchen uses ingredients from the surrounding Dales farms and the Jervaulx Estate. The bar serves Yorkshire ales alongside a well-chosen wine list. Bar meals are available for those wanting something simpler than the full restaurant menu.
The pub is ideally placed for walks along Coverdale and Wensleydale. The River Cover runs nearby and the ruins of Jervaulx Abbey are a short walk away. The garden overlooks open countryside and is a peaceful spot for a pint with your dog.
