Golden Lion

Yorkshire Dales National Park


The Golden Lion is a lively pub with five comfortable B&B rooms and a 15-bed bunkhouse, where you can tuck into a 'Walkers ploughman' lunch washed down with a pint of hand-pulled ale from the Three Peaks Brewery. At the time of writing the owners were building a larger bunkhouse behind the pub.
