The clatter of walkers' boots on flagstones mingles with the creak of the old pub sign swinging in the Dales breeze — this is proper Yorkshire hospitality with a bed for the night.

The Maypole works beautifully for couples exploring the Yorkshire Dales, dog owners tackling the Pennine Way (Long Preston sits right on it), or anyone wanting a cosy pod in the garden rather than a traditional B&B room. You're in working village territory here, with the fells rising west toward Settle and Malham within striking distance. Both the guest house rooms and camping pods welcome dogs, so no one gets left behind when you head out for the day.

There's wifi if you need it, though you'll likely spend your evenings in the bar downstairs. Campfires depend on conditions — ask when you arrive. It's open year-round, which makes it a solid shout for winter walking weekends when a canvas tent feels less appealing. Expect a friendly village local vibe with fell-walkingfolk passing through.

Malham Village to Janet's Foss

National Trust logoNational Trust

Follows a gentle, mostly flat path along Gordale Beck through classic limestone scenery, suitable for families and sturdy buggies on the lower sections (though the final approach to the waterfall involves steps and rougher ground).
