Birch Hall Inn: Ranked Among Europe’s Best

A Hidden Gem in the North York Moors

Tucked away in the quiet village of Beck Hole, the Birch Hall Inn is well-known for its modest charm and character. Combining a small traditional pub with an old-fashioned sweet shop, it offers a unique and unpretentious experience. Visitors can enjoy locally brewed ales, simple but satisfying snacks (the pork pies are great), and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that reflects the heritage of the region.

Situated in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, the pub is a popular stop for walkers and visitors exploring the surrounding countryside, including the nearby village of Goathland. Its low-key, authentic vibe has earned it a place among Europe’s most respected drinking spots.
