Cover Bridge Inn
East Witton, Leyburn DL8 4SQ

This characterful old coaching inn has been welcoming travellers since around 1670. Now a warm and friendly pub, the Cover Bridge attracts visitors from near and far with its hearty meals, roaring log fires and comfortable accommodation.

Upstairs are three cosy bedrooms, all en-suite, with TVs and facilities for making hot drinks. Downstairs is a welcoming bar area, with ancient wooden beams, traditional oak settles and a wonderful selection of Yorkshire beers, including Theakston's Old Peculier (yes, that's how it's spelled) and Timothy Taylor's superb Landlord Bitter.

The food is famous in the area, with favourites such as home-made pies and steaks, as well as vegetarian options. If the weather's fine, relax in the pleasant garden at the back, soak up some sunshine, and enjoy the burbling of the little River Cover. Children and dogs will be in heaven...

Cover Bridge is a brilliant base from which to explore the northern dales of Wensleydale and Swaledale, with their rugged castles and lively market towns. To the south are picturesque Wharfedale, Littondale, Nidderdale and Langstrothdale - aren't those evocative names? 

Nick and Anne Harrington really look forward to telling you about this wonderful area and its many attractions.
