The Lion Inn on remote Blakey Ridge is a 16th Century family owned, Freehouse. 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.

Wonderful inn for bikepackers. Food, drinks by the fire and a cozy room for an acceptable amount.

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

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.
