Here's a brief guide to the pubs that are on the North York Moors 100 route. These pubs can be a useful morale boost for a flagging entrant and can also be used by supporters if they fancy a bar meal whilst they are waiting for their friends or family to reach a checkpoint. Note: that the local tipple in this part of the world is Black Sheep and Theakstons from Masham. Most of these pubs listed here serve one of these ales.

Some of these pubs also serve ale from two local micro breweries - The Great Yorkshire Brewery at Cropton (on the North York Moors) and Wold Top near Wold Netwon (a little further away on the Yorkshire Wolds).
