Food scene
The village pub, less than a minute walk! Great food served all day in the bar area or restaurant. Or just enjoy a few drinks at the bar.
Voted the 5th best dog friendly pub in the UK, so you can enjoy food and drink with your pouch in the bar area, they even have a dogs menu!

A picture-perfect pub in a picture-perfect village…in a… yes, picture-perfect setting too.
The flagstone floors, low ceilings and ancient timbers create an ambience and atmosphere just oozing with history, character and charm. If these walls could talk, we would all stop and listen.
Assheton Arms, Downham around a 45min walk from the cottage, beautiful walk via the horseback bridge.

Malham Cove
Gisburn Forest and Stocks
Mountain Biking
Gisburn lies in the Forest of Bowland, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so you're guaranteed some amazing scenery as you enjoy the trails. There's an easy blue route and slightly harder and longer red XC route, neither of which will leave you feeling disappointed. Both start from the Gisburn Forest Hub car park, where you'll also find a cafe and skills loop. Further into the forest there are two DH trails with berms, jumps and drop-offs. If you fancy challenging yourself, why not take on the Forestry Commission's Super 6 challenge? This involves riding the six most northerly English trail centres - Kielder, Chopwell, Whinlatter, Hamsterley, Griezdale and Gisburn.
