I only "discovered" this pub a year or so ago, because whenever I passed there were always mounds of tourists scoffing food on the benches in front, which is a bit off-putting if you fancy a quiet beer. In the evening it's different, and is one of the most pleasant pubs I know. That's not to say it's also a world beater in the beer stakes. Three Theakston beers and Landlord are fine, but not exactly earth shattering, but my Old Peculier (NBSS 3.5) was £5.50, so I'll probably keep on calling in when in town.

Good looking pub both outside and inside. Several areas inside, although it's pretty much one room with partitions. Al is right, it does feel a bit cramped and it wasn't that busy during our visit. I had a pint of Landlord and Ms CAMRA had a half of Olde English. That will be Eight Pounds said the barperson!! We queried this as all our previous ronds had been around £6 - £6.50. £5.25 for the Landlord, £2.75 for a half of cider. Theft!! Even the Woolly Sheep only charges around £4.60 for Landlord. There's a pub in Skipton called The Fleece, but this is where the fleecing occurs.

A busy pub by the castle. Multi-roomed and it can seem a bit cramped when busy. The interior is sort of zig zag shaped. A pleasant enough place but a bit touristy. 4 handpumps on the bar with an unclipped one and 2 Theakstons beers plus a Nethercote beer on today.
