Birks Tarn

With one of the most varied landscapes in the UK, you can find everything in the Yorkshire Dales, from high peaks to rolling valleys.

Our part of the Yorkshire Dales offers some of the best walking available.  With the 3 Peaks of Penyghent, Ingleborough and Whernside within easy reach you can tackle one a day or try the gruelling challenge of all 3 in 24 hours – not for the faint hearted!  There are also plenty of smaller peaks with more undulating landscape and the Dales of Littondale,  Wharfedale, Malhamdale and Ribblesdale all have lovely riverside walks, mainly on the flat.

The Dalesway long distance path runs from Ilkley to Bowness in the Lake District along the northern Dales and passes through the next Dale along with the Pennine Way.

The Queens Arms offers a drying room for clothes and boots and we are very happy to prepare a packed lunch for you if you are heading off walking for the day.

A varied selection of circular and linear walks around the Yorkshire Dales can be found on the National Park website here.

The Queens Arms, Litton, Yorkshire Dales
As pub locations go, they don’t come better than the Queens Arms at Litton in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The five-mile detour off the busy main Grassington to Kettlewell Road is well worth it for the stunning scenery and heartening hospitality at the quaint 17th- century inn.
In 2012 the pub found itself under local ownership and an extensive but tasteful refurbishment took our beautiful white washed pub back to its former glory.
Since February 2019 Michelle and Matthew Birtley have carried on the Queens Arms tradition, serving only home cooked & locally sourced ingredients and award winning pies.
All our staff are friendly family or locals, including talented chef Matt. His outstanding home-cooked food offers all you could dream of on a pub menu, plus a little waft of the contemporary to keep things interesting.
Handmade Pies and Puddings, Fresh Haddock, Hand cut Chips and Sunday Roasts (with gravy made the traditional way) are proving extremely popular.
Our very own brewery sits behind the pub and is home to The Lamb Brewing Company, established in 2019, Local expert brewer Thomas Crapper produces many popular brews including Lamb Pale Ale, IPA and a traditional recipe Dark Mild.
Food is served in the bar area which you will share with the locals, farmers, their dogs and even possibly a visiting darts team. For larger party dining we have the cosy fire in the Littondale Bar to gather around, in here we can seat up to 28 comfortably.
For al fresco dining we boast a large beer garden which seats 60 covers on our well kept grass and hard standing areas.
