Set in beautiful Yorkshire Dales the New Inn has been providing accommodation for the traveller since 1776 and has been our home since 1987, during which time we have lovingly and carefully refurbished with a fine blend of old and new to retain the characteristics of this eighteenth century coaching inn where you will experience a warm and friendly welcome.
In the Main Bar can be seen a collection of caving cartoons by Jim Eyre one of the local early cave explorers. In the Lounge Bar are many tapestries all done by Barbara and several ‘New Inn’ themed cartoons by Lakes cartoonist Ken Mosley. The Restaurant has original paintings, several having a West Riding industrial theme. My lifelong interest in cycling, caving and running is reflected in many of the numerous photographs and prints which can be seen around the building.
The New Inn is set in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park with its dramatic peaks, delightful dales, rivers, waterfalls and caves and situated in the centre of the charming village of Clapham. Over thousands of years water erosion through the limestone has formed many amazing sights, such as Ingleborough Cave, which is festooned with stalactites and stalagmites, or Gaping Gill the most dramatic of North Yorkshire's pot holes where water hurtles down in a single jet over 365ft to the floor.
