The Feversham Arms, Church Houses, Farndale, North York Moors
We discovered the Feversham Arms on a walk starting from Low Mill in Farndale and taking us up onto the top of Rudland Rigg. Famous for its daffodils, Farndale is a beautiful valley in Spring but is definitely also worth a visit out of season when it is very tranquil. On our visit in February, it was a clear day, the sun was shining and the tops were still covered in snow so the views were quite dramatic and we could see for miles around in all directions.
The Feversham Arms is a traditional old stone pub dating back to 1836 with a flagstone floor and roaring fire, and the landlady gives a very warm welcome to walkers and their dogs too. The menu has a good choice of traditional hot pub dishes such as steak and ale pie as well as lighter lunches including soup, sandwiches or jacket potatoes. On Sundays roast dinners are available in addition to the main menu and the pub is open until 3pm.
A word of warning though, the portions are enormous! Betwen us, we enjoyed a roast dinner (£8.95), ploughman's (£6.95) and the chicken and mushroom pie (£5.95 for a half-portion), all of which were thoroughly enjoyable and more than enough to sustain us on our walk. Prices are very reasonable and the Feversham Arms is a great stop for walkers or anyone out for a drive on the moors and stopping for a pub lunch. It also offers bed and breakfast accommodation.

We called at the Feversham Arms at Farndale On Thursday 28th October 2010.
I used to live in Farndale 45 years ago and I went to the small school just up the Road. I have been back twice before in 45 years, as I now live in the south of England.
I used to go to the pub when it was also a farm, to get milk each morning when the Dukes family ran it.
This time we were told we were would have to sit out side, As there was a private shoot party in the pub. The way we were told was as if we were to know. So we went up to the Lion on the top of the Moors. Got a great reception, great meal and made really welcome. What is happening to the country areas in the UK. Rich townes moving in.
