Cafe, bar and bistro in a 1480s almshouse just off Knaresborough's ancient market square, and winner of Bar of the Year at the Harrogate Hospitality Awards. The team describe themselves as very dog friendly, and the historic beamed rooms are a characterful lunch stop between the castle and the riverside.
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 room, the terrace, the table the dog fits under.
A few dishes and what they cost.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Inside or terrace only, and whether that changes at lunch.
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.
Two miles each way of fully surfaced, traffic-free path along the Nidd from High Bridge in Knaresborough out to Bilton Hall Drive, resurfaced in 2013 and effectively flat, which makes it one of the few routes in the district that stays clean and firm right through winter. Start at High Bridge on the Ripon Road below the town, five minutes from Knaresborough station, and at the far end it links straight into Bilton Lane and the Nidderdale Greenway for a longer day. Named after the Yorkshire cycling champion, it is shared with bikes and horses and passes fields of grazing horses and a couple of cattle grids, so keep dogs on the lead and close in; the surface is kind on old joints and takes a buggy or wheelchair without complaint.
A famously narrow multi-storey ale house on Knaresborough market place, in the Good Beer Guide for more than thirty consecutive years. It describes itself as a cosy, dog-friendly pub, with a clean water bowl and doggy treats kept on the bar and no objection to a dog on the stairs.
Follow the Nidd upstream from Knaresborough's Waterside, beneath the great railway viaduct, into 114 acres of Woodland Trust ancient woodland in a steep-sided gorge. Around 4 to 5 miles out and back on riverside and woodland paths, with a climb out for views over both Knaresborough and Harrogate. Dogs can go off lead with good recall in the woods; free 10-space Trust car park off Bilton Lane.
Nobody has written one for Six Poor Folk. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
