The Bull Inn West Tanfield

The Bull Inn West Tanfield A charming country pub at the heart of West Tanfield, offering classic Yorkshire dishes, seasonal specials, and local cask ales.
(369)

Relax by the fire, enjoy hearty food, or call in for a pint after exploring the village and the surrounding Dales. The Bull is a very old traditional country inn set on the banks of the River Ure in the picturesque village of West Tanfield which lies just north of the ancient Cathedral City of Ripon. Restored in 1699, parts of the inn are formed from what was once the ferryman’s cottage and the artist JMW Turner drew scenes of the nearby ancient Marmion Tower on one of his many tours of Yorkshire.
