Falcon Inn

Yorkshire Dales National Park

LoginSave

The original for the Woolpack inn in the UK TV series Emmerdale Farm, the Falcon is a lovely rustic pub in the quaint village of Arncliffe, 8 miles northwest of Grassington, where beer is still served from a jug on the counter and tables spill onto the village green. A simple menu of sandwiches, soup, scones and pork pie is served at lunchtime only.

The inn offers B&B, mainly for walkers, from £70 for a double or £35 single. Dinner is available for guests at £20 per person for a set three-course menu.
