The Durham Ox has anchored hilltop Crayke for three centuries, all flagstone floors, oak panelling and winter fires, with long views over the Vale of York and eight rooms should you linger. The Ibbotson family cook from a local larder. It’s a short stroll to Crayke Castle, said to be the Grand Old Duke of York’s hill, and an easy run north to Coxwold and Sterne’s Shandy Hall.
