Get Directions

2.28 km

The Barn, Scorton

Highlight • Cafe

A firm favourite with local cyclists. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Also has bike racks (although most of the locks have keys missing). It can take ages to get served in the more modern bar area, so I would recommend entering through the gift shop to the right and ordering from the smaller café area.

Tip by

2.34 km

The Priory Inn

Highlight • Pub

Alternative venue to the barn, more of a restaurant / bar. If you fancy a cold beer after your Forest of Bowland efforts then this might be the place to go.
