The Cross Keys is a pub in Thixendale. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.

We have not checked this one yet

The Cross Keys is a real pub in Thixendale, and it is here so you know it exists. But we have not been able to find a dog policy for it that we would stand behind, so we are not going to guess at one. No verdict, no stamp, no date.

If this is your business, tell us whether dogs are welcome and we will put a stamp on it — free, and it stays free. Tell us your dog policy. Want the whole page — photos, prices, your own words? Claim this listing.

If you have been and you know the answer, tell us and we will go and confirm it.

More from the owner

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.

A short round out of Thixendale that Yorkshire Wildlife Trust publish and waymark, taking in three restored dew ponds - the only standing water for miles in a landscape of dry chalk valleys. Out of the village up the steep pull of Huggate Hill Road, right past Gills Cottage onto the Wolds Way stoned track, past the carved interpretation panel and the 2019 restored pond, then down into the valley past the Waves and Time spiral earthwork and back along the dale road. The ant hills on the grassy slope above the valley bottom are hundreds of years old. The ponds are stock drinking water rather than dog water - carry your own, because there is nothing else.

Wharram Percy and Burdale Circular from Thixendale

Livestock — leads on

The classic Thixendale round: out of the village north-east on the Centenary Way, up over the wold and down the long footpath into the valley at Wharram Percy, then back on the single-track road through Burdale. Wharram Percy is English Heritage land, free to walk into and open in daylight hours, and the roofless shell of St Martin's church sits in a grass hollow with the millpond below it. Nearly all of this is dry chalk valley - no beck, no standing water - so carry water for the dog even in mild weather. The last two and a half miles along the Burdale dale road are almost traffic-free and easy on tired paws.

Nobody has written one for The Cross Keys. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.
