Paul Theakston's famous independent brewery on the edge of Masham, with daily tours, the Sheepy Shop and a popular bar and kitchen. Dogs are welcome in the bar and bistro seating areas, and the venue is a regular haunt for walkers doing the Masham riverside circuit; production tours themselves are not suitable for dogs. Expect the full range of Black Sheep ales at the source.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.

Four and a quarter miles in a shade over two hours on the flat, east from the market place to the Ure, then west along the River Burn past Swinton Park and back on the Ripon Rowel; riverside and field paths that get muddy but never steep. Start on Masham's huge market square, where parking is free and both breweries and their tap rooms are a few yards away; the 159 bus runs from Ripon. A sound low-level choice for a hot day or an old dog with two rivers for swimming and plenty of shade, but the meadows are grazed by sheep and cattle, there are stiles on the Burn section, and Swinton Park's parkland holds free-roaming fallow deer that will draw any dog.
Castle hotel on the 20,000-acre Swinton Estate outside Masham, with parkland, lakes and falconry. Most bedrooms are dog friendly (around twenty-five pounds per dog per night) and dogs are welcome in the Terrace Bar, Billiard Room, Morning Room, Lower Hall and estate shop, though not the restaurant. Four-legged guests get a bed, chew, bowls and eco poo bags.
A traditional local on the north side of Masham's market square with a huge beer garden looking over the River Ure and lower Wensleydale. Dogs are allowed in any part of the pub, which makes it the easiest choice in town if you are eating with one. Two letting rooms, darts and a good beer list.
Nobody has written one for Black Sheep Brewery. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
