I've just booked our annual pilgrimage to God's Own County at the end of this month. For various reasons we will be based in the North York moors, rather than the Dales. Are there any must visit pubs in the area? Good beer is a major factor, but I'd happily visit a cracking pub even if the only beer was Black Sheep. We have been to the wonderful Blacksmith's Arms in Lastingham, and the splendid Jolly Farmer near Thirsk (OK, not in the Moors, but close ,and an excellent pub)
If I'm very good, and if the ladies decide to go shopping, I might be allowed some beer tourism in York.Any suggestions-I don't think the York Tap will be open, but we'll probably be going back in the months to come.
