Traditional local on Ousegate with a beer garden, Sky Sports and a friendly crowd, listed as a child and dog friendly pub. Dogs are welcome in the bar and garden. A no-frills pint stop after a stroll along the Selby Canal towpath or a visit to the Abbey.
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.
The fire, the snug, the water bowl by the door.
A few dishes and what they cost, so people arrive knowing.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Which rooms, which times, whether the whippet gets a biscuit.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Selby's branch of the Lounges, all mismatched armchairs and all-day food, a minute from the Abbey at Market Cross. Dogs are welcome inside and there are treats for four-legged visitors at the counter. Open from breakfast through to the evening, which makes it a dependable default.
The largest wood in the old Selby district — 340 hectares of mixed forestry between Cawood and Sherburn in Elmet — with flat, wide rides and easy circular routes of four to seven kilometres. It is loved by local dog walkers and dogs run off lead on the main rides; spring carpets the floor in bluebells and wild garlic. Free roadside parking off the lane through the wood; some side paths get muddy and overgrown.
Five and a half miles of towpath from Selby Lock out past Brayton and Burn towards Tankard's Bridge, remarkably flat and firm the whole way and about two and a half hours one way, with the Trans Pennine Trail waymarking to follow. Start at Selby Lock, YO8 8FD, less than half a mile from both the railway station and the bus station, which makes this the easiest walk in the Vale to reach without a car, and there are entry points all along so you can cut it as short as you like. The towpath is the classic bad-weather option here because it drains and stays walkable in January, dogs can be off lead on the quieter southern stretches, and there is shade under the trees, but keep them out of the canal itself and lead up at the locks, bridge holes and around moored boats.
Nobody has written one for Nelson Inn. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
