The historic home of Old Peculier, brewing in Masham since 1827, with guided tours daily from the Black Bull in Paradise visitor centre bar. Dogs are restricted to the small covered outdoor seating area; the indoor bar and brewery tours are people-only. Fine for a quick half with the dog in tow, but the White Bear or Black Sheep bar suit a longer session better.
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.

Paul Theakston's famous independent brewery on the edge of Masham, with daily tours, the Sheepy Shop and a popular bar and kitchen. Dogs are welcome in the bar and bistro seating areas, and the venue is a regular haunt for walkers doing the Masham riverside circuit; production tours themselves are not suitable for dogs. Expect the full range of Black Sheep ales at the source.
Four and a quarter miles in a shade over two hours on the flat, east from the market place to the Ure, then west along the River Burn past Swinton Park and back on the Ripon Rowel; riverside and field paths that get muddy but never steep. Start on Masham's huge market square, where parking is free and both breweries and their tap rooms are a few yards away; the 159 bus runs from Ripon. A sound low-level choice for a hot day or an old dog with two rivers for swimming and plenty of shade, but the meadows are grazed by sheep and cattle, there are stiles on the Burn section, and Swinton Park's parkland holds free-roaming fallow deer that will draw any dog.
Castle hotel on the 20,000-acre Swinton Estate outside Masham, with parkland, lakes and falconry. Most bedrooms are dog friendly (around twenty-five pounds per dog per night) and dogs are welcome in the Terrace Bar, Billiard Room, Morning Room, Lower Hall and estate shop, though not the restaurant. Four-legged guests get a bed, chew, bowls and eco poo bags.
Nobody has written one for Theakston Brewery and Black Bull in Paradise Visitor Centre. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
