WAGFINDER No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

A cosy local at 9 Selby Road on the north side of Snaith, with several separate drinking areas and a rear yard that has a built-in barbecue, two guest ales at the pump and no pretensions at all. It is five minutes from the Priory church and the station car park where the town's heritage walks start. Note that CAMRA logged the pub as temporarily closed for refurbishment on 26 July 2026, due to reopen on or before 13 August 2026, so ring before you set off. CAMRA records it as dog friendly with no area excluded, which is a branch survey rather than the pub's own words.

Snaith Priory and St Laurence churchyard

DN14 9HE
No reviews yet

The Priory Church of St Laurence fills the top of Snaith Market Place, a Norman and later building with a squat west tower that was a Benedictine cell of Selby Abbey until the Dissolution. The churchyard wraps round three sides and is the pleasantest bit of green in the middle of the town, with clipped grass, table tombs and a gate onto Pontefract Road. Dogs are welcome but must be on a lead: the council's dogs on leads order names St Laurence Churchyard specifically, one of only a handful of sites in this corner of the Riding that carries an order at all. There is free parking in the station car park two minutes away on Pontefract Road, which is also where the town's fifteen heritage walks start.

Snaith and Cowick are a Walkers are Welcome town and this is the pick of the fifteen heritage walks the town council published, starting as they all do from the free station car park on Pontefract Road. It goes out past the Priory Church to Snaith Ings and up onto the bank of the Aire, which is embanked high above the carr land here and gives a long view over the Vale towards Drax. The way back drops to East Cowick, follows the old road through to West Cowick and returns by the field path behind Bourn Mill Balk. Almost all of it is bank top and field edge with working stock on the ings, and the Aire below the bank is deep and unfenced.
