The Crown Hotel, Horton-in-Ribblesdale

15/10/2026

Half-term ideas if you're heading to the Dales in the next few weeks 🥾
We've put together a few suggestions, from full days out on the fells to something a bit more relaxed...
1. Take on all Three Peaks in a day if you're feeling brave
2. Just Pen-y-ghent… a brilliant half-day walk right from our door
3. Ingleborough… a classic with great views from the top
4. Whernside from Ribblehead… the viaduct alone is worth it
5. Malham Cove… a bit easier but absolutely stunning
6. Ingleton Waterfalls Trail… great for all ages
7. Red squirrels at Snaizeholme near Hawes… a real favourite
8. Train to Ribblehead and walk back to Horton… a great trip
9. Guided history walk around Settle… you’ll be amazed!
10. A long lunch at The Crown, a seat by the fire, and absolutely nowhere to be 🔥

Which one gets your vote? 👇

😎 The weather is set to be nice this weekend. Perfect for a few days of walking in the Yorkshire Dales. And... we've still got a couple of rooms available, so why not make a weekend of it, enjoy some fresh air, good food, and a few days away from it all? 🥾

🍂 Autumn is a lovely time to be out in the Dales. If you fancy something a bit different from the peaks, Ingleton Waterfalls Trail and the Ribble Way are looking brilliant right now, with the autumn colours coming through.

The forecast this weekend is actually pretty decent, and we’ve got a few rooms free if you fancy a last-minute getaway. Enjoy the outdoors, then come back and warm up by the fire with a good meal.

Over the past year, we've met some wonderful people: locals, visitors, and people just dropping in on their longer journey for some food and a place to get some rest... Montane Spine Race 😉 We're really looking forward to getting to know many more of you over this next year at The Crown Hotel.

Feel free to tag yourselves in any of these images... It's always nice to know who you are 😊

One year ago today we walked through that door as the new owners of The Crown. 🥳

What a year it's been.

To everyone who's visited, stayed, eaten, popped in for a pint, cheered on a fell race, stumbled in off Pen-y-ghent, or simply made us feel welcome in this brilliant community… thank you. Genuinely. It means more than you know.

To our locals who've become regulars, and our regulars who've become friends… you know who you are. 🙏

We've loved every (mostly) mad minute of it and we can't wait to see what year two brings.

Over the next few days we'll be sharing some of our favourite moments and highlights from the past twelve months. Watch this space. 📸

Here's to the next year. 🍺

We're looking for someone to join the team at The Crown! 🍺

If you enjoy meeting people, don't mind a busy bar on a fell race weekend, and can bring a smile even when the Three Peaks walkers all come in at once... we'd love to hear from you 😊

Friday, Saturday and Sunday shifts. Drop us an email at [email protected] and let's have a chat.

Good luck to everyone racing in the 62nd Three Peaks Cyclo-Cross Race 3 Peaks Cyclo-Cross this weekend! 🚵

For anyone who doesn't know it, the route takes in all three peaks… on a bike! Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent, starting and finishing at Helwith Bridge, passing right through Horton along the way. It's a brutal course, and the riders who take it on are seriously impressive.

We'll be open all day, so if you're coming out to spectate, come and warm up with us between checkpoints. And to everyone racing… we'll have a well-earned drink waiting for you after you finish. 🍻

Good luck out there!

Autumn is one of our favourite times of year in the Yorkshire Dales?

If you’re planning a visit why not stay with us in one of our 10 recently upgraded rooms, perfect for Three Peaks challengers, cyclists, and anyone looking for a proper Dales escape.

Each room is designed for a good night’s sleep after a day on the hills. All with new beds, new carpets, and are warm, cosy, and practical, with everything you need to relax, recharge, and feel at home.

Whether for a single night or a longer stay, it is the kind of place where you can kick off your boots, settle in, and unwind.

We’ve got some of the best walking in the Dales starting right from our door, and when you get back, settle in beside the fire and enjoy our hearty pub food, and great selection of drinks… just what you need after a hard day in the outdoors.

Check live availability and book on our website:

See you soon. 😊

🥧Our pies have been flying out of the kitchen all weekend. But the question is… would you choose Steak &Ale, or Chicken & Leek 🤷‍♀️
