Blacksmiths Arms, Newton-on-Ouse
The Blacksmith’s Arms in Newton-On-Ouse is a lovely little pub situated in the village of Newton-on-Ouse, the neighbouring village to Beningborough Hall, a National Trust Property, and just down the road from Linton-On-Ouse.
It is a traditional pub serving light lunches, full meals and Sunday lunches until 2.30pm. On a recent visit, we enjoyed a light lunch of homemade vegetable soup with a bread roll and a ham and brie baguette served with salad and chips. Prices are reasonable and the service was good. The atmosphere of the pub was friendly and relaxed and families are made to feel welcome.
In the summer, the Blacksmith’s Arms has a lovely lawned garden out the front, perfect for walker s and cyclists or anyone who fancies a beer in the sun.
There is a circular walk of around 4 miles starting from the village, just beyond the Dawnay Arms, where there is a path to the left, which then leads along the River Ouse following the river bank passing through the bottom of some amazingly large gardens and then skirting the edge of Beningborough Hall gardens. The walk returns via Beningborough Hall back to the village.
The village of Newton-on-Ouse is also an ideal place to head for for anyone cycling from York to Beningborough on then flat and easy Sustrans cycle route (about 10 miles each way).
The National Trust tearoom can only be accessed by those who have paid to visit the house and gardens or National Trust members, so the pub serves as an alternative refreshment stop.
