About The Fox

The Fox & Hounds in West Witton is one of the oldest dwelling places in the Wensleydale area (built circa 1400 & Grade II listed) and was originally a resting place for monks from the nearby Jervaulx Abbey! Situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the Wensleydale village of West Witton, The Fox is a friendly and welcoming traditional local pub, with cask conditioned ales including Theakston’s and Yorkshire Dales Brewery, lagers such as Moretti and Amstel, Inchs cider, a superb wine list, and a wide range of spirits. Home cooked food is prepared daily using local produce.

The Fox is at the heart of West Witton life. A traditional local, it’s very much a community centre for the village. Dogs and children are most welcome. The pub has active teams for dominoes and quoits so if you’re lucky you’ll have a chance to see these traditional games being played with a passion! There’s a large beer garden to the rear of the pub with a heated covered section for cold nights, and a good-sized car park. Joanne, John, and the team look forward to seeing you soon!

Enter DL8 4LP in your sat-nav as the postcode. The Fox pub is on the A684 approximately 4 miles West of Leyburn in the center of the village of West Witton in the Yorkshire Dales. There is a large car park to the rear, the entrance to which is directly alongside the pub; it’s a tight turn so take it slow and watch for cars leaving. If you approach the village from the South, please note that sat-navs may direct you down ‘Grassgill‘. Although a very pretty approach, it’s a narrow road with several hairpin bends on 1:4 hills and is effectively unpassable for caravans and large motorhomes or vans.

In the winter it’s often icy and dangerous for the unwary, even in a 4×4, and can be completely impassable so an alternative route is recommended. The A684 is kept clear even in quite bad snow conditions so is the best approach at most times of year. If you give us a ring before you come we’ll be able to tell you what the road conditions are like.
