Four pubs in the Dales have been revealed among a handful in Yorkshire you don’t want to miss out on.

From pints by the river and community allotments to popular home-made pies to feast on, there’s a lot to discover about these standout pubs in the Yorkshire Dales, according to The Telegraph.

The publisher commented on its best-named Yorkshire pub and bar guide: “Yorkshire is well known for its brewing tradition with some of the biggest names in the business, including Theakston and Samuel Smith.

“But it has a flourishing micro-brewery sector, too, producing ales with distinctive names such as Riggwelter and Seven Deadly Sins.

“Not surprisingly, there’s a wealth of places to satisfy the county's thirsty drinkers from atmospheric drovers' inns in remote Dales' villages (dogs and muddy boots welcome) or brassy Victorian affairs in city centres to smart country gastropubs or hipster joints selling obscure craft ales for beer geeks.”

Best pubs in the Yorkshire Dales worth visiting

The Red Lion, Burnsall

Location: Burnsall, Skipton, BD23 6BU

Tripadvisor rating: 4/5 from 1,179 reviews

“With its riverside setting in the heart of Wharfedale, beside a stone-arched bridge, beneath gentle green fells and in a village of impossibly desirable stone cottages, this has got location, location, location,” writes The Telegraph.

“This also means it’s popular with everyone from locals and muddy-boot hikers to friends and families here purely for the food (smartly cooked classics).”

Just some of The Red Lion’s stand out features include its "atmospheric nooks and crannies, including the long wood-panelled bar, dating from the 16th century".

There’s also a "good range" of Thwaite’s cask ales to enjoy by the riverside garden.

The George & Dragon, Hudswell, near Richmond

Location: Hudswell Lane, Hudswell, Richmond, DL11 6BL

Tripadvisor rating: 4.5/5 from 374 reviews

This pub located in the hamlet of Hudswell outside Richmond, is said to be “Yorkshire’s first community-owned pub” which was saved by a local team.

Since The George & Dragon re-opened in 2010, it is now also home to the village shop – visitors can also see the community allotments in the back garden.

The Telegraph added: “With a raft of CAMRA awards under its belt, it stocks around 10 cask and keg beers, which have primarily been sourced from smaller local breweries.

“Always on tap are Wensleydale Brewery’s fruity malt-flavoured Falconer, and the nutty-tasting Ruby Mild from York’s Rudgate Brewery. No pint would be complete without one of their delicious home-made pies, either.”

The George, Hubberholme

Location: Dubb's Lane, Hubberholme, Skipton, BD23 5JE

Tripadvisor rating: 4.5/5 from 452 reviews

You can expect riverside views at The George tucked away in Hubberholme.

“You need to make a bit of an effort to get here – it’s at the head of Wharfedale where the road narrows to climb over to Wensleydale via Langstrothdal,” explains The Telegraph.

But the journey will be worth it as The George’s interiors are as “comfortably traditional as you’d expect” – from “low-beamed ceilings, exposed-stone walls, solid wood furnishings, coal fire and a clutter of brass and copper”.

If you’re visiting in the warmer months of the year, treat yourself to a “much-praised” home-made pie and wash it down with one of their four cask ales from Yorkshire breweries on the patio.

The Craven Arms, Appletreewick

Location: Appletreewick, Skipton, BD23 6DA

Tripadvisor rating: 4.5/5 from 1028 reviews

The Telegraph claims The Craven Arms is in a “cracking position” of the Yorkshire Dales, “overlooking the Wharfe valley from tiny Appletreewick”.

“This free house pub has around eight hand-pumped ales, predominantly from small Yorkshire breweries such as Hetton's Dark Horse and Saltaire Brewery,” added the publisher.

“Draught ciders and above-average pub food, too. Three small bars are determinedly traditional – rugs on flagged floors, wooden settles, fires in cast-iron ranges – which creates a warm, homely atmosphere; strangers soon end up nattering to each other.

"At the hint of warmth, everyone will be in the beer garden or on the roadside terrace drinking in the views.”
