Situated next to the car park of this old dales village which is frequented by the hillwalking and caving fraternities. Ideally sited for recovering after climbing Ingleborough. Odd opening hours - closes 7pm Friday/Saturday, 6pm during the week. No food - though there is a range of "organic" crisps and other snacks. Soft drinks are similarly "organic". Ice creams available from the Emporium part of the business (just through the door) Google Map Clapham railway station is just over a mile away and is on the Morecambe - Leeds line - Timetable and tourist details.
