Brew-pub situated on a crossroads in the hills above Blackburn, two miles from the town centre. Formerly a Thwaites house it now houses the 3Bs brewery and sells the full range including the house beer Black Bull Bitter. Popular with walkers, cyclists and beer connoisseurs. Magnificent views over the hills and out towards the coast. There is a sporadic bus service to Tockholes through the week which stops outside the pub, otherwise visitors need to take an uphill walk from the Golden Cup, Mill Hill or Leyburn Road bus stops.
