Local Information

The Black Horse Hotel is situated at the top of the cobbled village square of Grassington, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales in Wharfedale in North Yorkshire. Grassington is a beautiful and very popular dales village, with a good range of amenities, shops, pubs and cafes. The Hotel is ideally located for exploring the picturesque countryside of this beautiful part of the country, including the historic market town of Skipton and Skipton Castle, a complete medieval fortress standing at the top of Skipton's main street. For those who prefer other pursuits, walking in the dales, pony trekking at Kilnsey Centre, or exploring "underground" at Stump Cross Caverns, are all within easy reach of Grassington.

About Yorkshire

Yorkshire has been chosen as the setting for many TV dramas and films as well as being the setting for some of the classics of English literature. Some of the most notable which are well within reach of Grassington are, south of Skipton, the Bronte country, home to Charlotte and Emily Bronte, famous for "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights" respectively, as well as other novels and poems, and the rest of their talented family, sister Anne, who wrote "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall", and brother Bramwell who wrote and painted. Closer to the present day Yorkshire has been the location of the James Herriot books and TV series. The actual 'Skeldale House' may be seen in Thirsk in North Yorkshire, with exhibits of veterinary science and farming from the forties and fifties. The soap "Emmerdale", originally "Emmerdale Farm" is also filmed in North Yorkshire in the Harewood Estate, having been originally in Arncliffe, in Littondale, and then in the village of Esholt,West Yorkshire. So there is plenty of Emmerdale scenery to visit from Grassington.
