Ripon hosts a number of museums, holds a bustling Thursday Market, and has shios and restaurants to suit all tastes.
There are beautiful walks along the Rivers Ure and Skell, the recently restored Canal Basin, and the jewel in the crown, Ripon Cathedral, are all within easy walking distance.
Ripon is ideally situated for visiting most of Yorkshire's racecourses. It is, of course the home of England's 'Garden Racecourse'.
We specialise in catering for race-going groups and will be pleased to provide details of all meetings on request.
Relax in our comfortable, recently refurbished bar. At weekends there is a full programme of entertainment starting on Thursday evening with our famous White Horse quiz. We also have a sports area for darts, dominoes and pool
Ripon is steeped in tradition. On the square every evening at 9 p.m the Ripon Hornblower sets the watch at the four corners of the obelisk. A short drive will take you to Fountains Abbey, one of Britain's premier World Heritage sites. Or you amy like to try the thrilling rides at Lightwater Valley Theme Park
