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

A free house in the middle of Burton Leonard with large open beer gardens front and back and a kitchen running lunchtimes and evenings, closed all day Monday. The pub stopped taking dogs indoors on 30 June 2025, but says plainly that dogs are welcome in the beer gardens, which are big enough to be a proper option rather than a consolation. The village's other pub, the Hare and Hounds, was demolished for housing.

THE SMALL PRINTNo dogs indoors since 30 June 2025; dogs are welcome in the front and rear beer gardens only.

Livestock — leads on

Four miles and about an hour and three quarters on lanes and field paths from the village, past the ford and footbridge and out along Lime Kiln Lane to the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve in the old magnesian limestone quarries, with 90 metres of easy climbing. Park considerately in Burton Leonard village and walk out along Lime Kiln Lane; the reserve gates are locked at times, and there is no wheelchair access to the quarry banks. Dogs are allowed on the reserve but only on a lead, because the limestone grassland with its bee and common spotted orchids is grazed to keep the scrub down; the ford is shallow enough for a paddle on the way back.
