Ragly Pub

Highlight • Pub

Nice pub welcoming muddy boot and dogs. If you sit outside you can look out over the valley and watch the planes land and take off.

Tip by

A good way down from the Chevin, wide with lots of rutted tracks to pick from. Better in the dry, but if it's wet keep your mouth closed.

Can be used to link up with the Bridleway from moor top to get to Menston, or head onto Cross Lane to get to Guiseley and Yeadon.
