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

A 1742 coaching inn on West Terrace facing Low Green, with outside tables a few steps from the River Leven where it runs through the middle of the village. The pub side is dog friendly, but the bedrooms are not: the inn states plainly that pets are not allowed in the hotel rooms and points dog owners at its sister pub, the Royal Oak on High Green. That makes it a good stop mid-walk and the wrong choice to stay in with a dog.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs in the pub only — the inn does not allow pets in its hotel bedrooms.

Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.

Is this your pub?

Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

Livestock — leads on

A short, steady climb from the free Gribdale Gate car park up through larch woods to the 60-foot obelisk of 1827 on Easby Moor, raised to the explorer who grew up in Great Ayton below. Views sweep to Roseberry Topping and across the Cleveland plain, and a longer circuit links both summits via the Cleveland Way. Popular with dog walkers, but livestock graze along the trail, so leads on at times.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

A 7.9-mile circuit with 300 metres of ascent and about three and three quarter hours, taking in Roseberry Common, the woods above Hutton Village and the long moor-top return to the obelisk on Easby Moor; the moor sections are firm sandy track but the climb from Hutton Village is steep and stepped. It starts at the Dikes Lane car park below Roseberry Topping, which is small and free and full by nine on a clear Saturday, with the alternative being Gribdale Gate a mile and a half round the other side. Newton Wood and the Guisborough plantations are grand for a dog off the lead and there are streams to drink from, but Roseberry Common and Great Ayton Moor carry sheep all year and the whole moor holds ground-nesting birds between 1 March and 31 July.
