    About The Red Lion... A Warm Family Welcome Before the bridge was built, the buildings where the Red Lion now stands were situated on a ford across the River Wharfe. When the river was in spate, these buildings offered refuge & temporary lodgings to those who could not cross. In the 16th Century, the permanent buildings you see now began to arise and the Ferryman’s Inn orignally entitled ‘Bridge Tavern’ became the beautiful country Inn which is now the Red Lion. Bought by Elizabeth & Andrew Grayshon in 1991, The Red Lion & Manor House has now passed into the capable hands of their four daughters - Sarah, Victoria, Katy & Eleanor, who, with their husbands & families, continue to provide visitors with the same service that has kept the Red Lion as one of the most popular destinations in the Dales. • Breathtaking scenery • Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty • Grade II listed building Stay A While... The Manor House & Red Lion Holiday Cottages In addition to the rooms in the Red Lion, we have 11 B&B rooms in the Manor House - a charming Victorian property 150 yards away - and 4 holiday cottages. Perfect for overnight accommodation, the Manor House bedrooms are modern but simple most having lovely views of the River Wharfe and village. Perched on the banks of the River Wharfe, the 4 Riverside holiday cottages have quirky ‘upside down’ living accommodation; double & twin bedrooms on the ground floor; kitchen, dining and sitting rooms on the first floor with views down the river and to the fell. The kitchens are complete with quality appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and microwave.

  • Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks
    Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks Cleveland Way Trail: walk the 3 miles from Rievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire to Helmsley Castle and tread in the footsteps of medieval Pilgrims along what’s now part of the Cleveland Way Trail. Camino de Santiago/Way of St James, Spain: along with trips to the Holy Land and Rome, this is the most famous medieval pilgrimage trail of all, and the most well-travelled in medieval times, at least until the advent of Black Death. Its destination point is the spot St James is said to have been buried, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Today Santiago is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites. Read more . the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela holds a Pilgrims’ Mass every day at noon. Walk as much or as little of it as you like. Follow the famous scallop shell symbols. A popular starting point, both today and in the Middle Ages, is either Le Puy in the Massif Central, France OR the famous medieval Abbey at Cluny, near Paris. The Spanish start is from the Pyrenees, on to Roncevalles or Jaca. These routes also take in the Via Regia and/or the Camino Frances. The Portuguese way is also popular: from the Cathedrals in either Lisbon or Porto and then crossing into Falicia/Valenca. At the end of the walk you receive a stamped certifi cate, the Compostela. To achieve this you must have walked at least 100km or cycled for 200. To walk the entire route may take months. Read more . The route has inspired many TV and fi lm productions, such as Simon Reeve’s BBC2 ‘Pilgrimage’ series (2013) and The Way (2010), written and directed by Emilio Estevez, about a father completing the pilgrimage in memory of his son who died along the Way of St James.

  • Way of the Roses: Bentham Passing Place Artist's Brief
    Way of the Roses: Bentham Passing Place Artist’s brief Summary This brief is for the creation of public art for the Bentham area, which will form part of the coast to coast Cycle Route, Way of the Roses. 1. Context Developed by Sustrans, Way of the Roses is a long distance coast to coast cycle route across some of the most beautiful landscape in the UK between Morecambe on the west coast and Bridlington on the east coast. ‘Passing Places’ is the public art programme developed by lead artist Matt Baker as a moving history to accompany the traveller along the way. It will consist of public artworks marking traditional movements of people, historical events or phenomena which coincide with this 170 mile long distance route. Sustrans is currently planning around ten Passing Places along the route between start/finish Terminus artworks at either end. Each Passing Place might be a short diversion from the main route. The intention is to foster connections between the local communities, the route and people travelling the route to address the question: ‘….if I met a stranger what would I tell them about where I live?’ Each Passing Place is being developed with a local steering group working with an animateur - someone who goes out into the community to encourage involvement, develop programmes, and respond to community needs – in other words, someone who will make the community hum with energy and facilitate the artistic process. Pioneer Projects (Celebratory Arts) Ltd is the Animateur for Bentham. Together, the animateur and steering group will select a Passing Places Artist.

  • WOTR Mixed 2021
    UK COAST TO COAST WAY OF THE ROSES 28TH - 31ST MAY 2021 Way of the Roses O V E R V I E W The Way of the Roses is, in our opinion the most beautiful and challenging of all of the Coast to coast rides. Starting off in sunny Morecambe, we head East towards Lancaster before getting out into the glorious rolling Lancashire countryside. Pen y Ghent is in constant view to the North as we find ourselves crossing into the Yorkshire dales, courtesy of a 20% climb out of the market town of Settle. This section is the toughest of the whole ride with another climb up to Greenhow hill and one or two other 16 - 18% climbs thrown in for good measure. The scenery will more than make up for the leg busting climbs as Yorskshire shows off it's best vistas and some of the UK's finest scenery! Small mercies follow as we descend out of the dales into the gorgeous Yorkshire countryside before riding along traffic free cycle paths into the bustling Medieval city of York. We'll soon find ourselves back in rural surroundings as we head towards Pocklington,with just one more gentle climb to get us onto the top of the East Yorkshire Wolds before 40 glorious descending miles all the way to the East coast of England and the Quintessentially British seaside town of Bridlington! Route D E T A I L S The Way of the Roses route runs from Morecambe to Bridlington - a total of 270km and 2,500m of climbing.
