Nice place to stop for coffee or beer or food while exploring the area. Lovely outdoor seating area when the weather is good.

Almscliffe Crag is a great place for doing some rock climbing with some of those climbs being Parson's Chimney, Black Wall Eliminate and the Wall of Horrors. Spring or summer would be preferable to do rock climbing because you'll be more than likely to see some gorgeous view of the North Yorkshire countryside.
