The Durham Ox - Inn in Yorkshire
Westway
Crayke, York, YO61 4TE, Yorkshire
England,
Royaume-Uni
Find this cosy pub at the picturesque top of the Grand Old Duke of York’s hill – it’s the heart of the village. There’s a lot of space to enjoy - sit outside in the beer garden, sample one of their locally brewed gins in the bar with a board-game or book the private dining room with its own pre-dinner sitting area and log burner.
Food is excellent – great seafood, steaks, sandwiches and puddings with plenty for vegans too. Retire to the outdoor covered Dog House with a newspaper and a gutsy red while you warm yourself by the wood-burning stoves while you contemplate your next move.
Sleep in country-house style rooms in the old farmworkers’ cottages, wake up to a Bloody Mary and a buffet breakfast. There are great walks straight from the door; the hour long Crayke estate Walk takes you across the Howardian Hills, through beautiful woodland, over the river Foss and past views of Crayke Castle – bring the dog too.

Michael & Sasha Ibbotson:
- Byland Abbey - an English Heritage ruin only ten minutes away. Drive through beautiful Coxwold, past Newburgh Priory with ornate topiary hedges & beautiful houses on either side of the road. The ruins are absolutely stunning, with the old inn opposite.
- Castle Howard - think 'Brideshead Revisited'...for those who are familiar with the television drama - otherwise notably an iconic country house complete with follies, fountains, lakes and an adventure playground. Also, farmshop and garden nursery.
- Historic York - so much to see and do for all ages. Yorvic, the Minster, the old City Walls, ghost walks, Medieval Banqueting Halls; The National Railway Museum (free of charge) Betty's team rooms; River boat tours. Lots of independent shops & galleries
- Some great market towns: Georgian Easingwold with a weekly Friday market and Farmer's market...shops, tea rooms and some great independent shops. Or head to Helmsley for more independent shops, the Castle, the Walled Garden, Rievaulx Abbey and Terraces etc
- National Trust properties are plentiful so if you're a member there are plenty of places to visit for free. Nunnington Hall, Beninborough Hall, Rievaulx Terrace, Treasurer's House York, Goddard's House York, Fountains Abbey & Studely Royal among others
- White Horse - Sutton Bank - great walks, great views and gliders for those who feel a little bit more daredevil! You'll spot it from all different vantage points while you're driving around the area...but it's best seen up close...and there's a great walk.
