Just outside Easingwold, we are well placed for visits to York, as well Helmsley and many beautiful surrounding villages and across to the North York Moors and Coast. There's much to do and explore from the Jorvik Viking Centre, The Railway Museum, York City Walls, Castle Howard, Beningbrough Hall & Gardens, Nunnington Hall (and many other National Trust properties in the area), Helmsley Castle, Byland Abbey, Rievaulx Abbey and other stately homes and historic sites.

WALKS:  Many of our guests find the one minute walk from their room to the pub, perhaps twice a day, sufficient exercise for the duration of their stay!  However, we are surrounded by beautiful countryside to explore. There are a huge number of walks from gentle strolls to serious hiking.

"Nothing rounds off a Sunday stroll quite like a plate of Yorkshire beef with all the trimmings. With its prime spot between York and the North Yorkshire Moors, The Durham Ox, is just the place." As said by one of our guests!
