The Hambleton Inn

A Country Inn situated in one of the best spots in England's prettiest County, in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.

History

For 300 years the Hambleton Inn has been Yorkshire's most Sporting Inn.

The White Horse, at Kilburn, just below Hambleton, symbolises the centuries old racing tradition of the area, with the Hambleton Inn at its heart.

The Hambleton plateau was the finest natural racecourse in the country. It was second in importance only to Newmarket until its then remote location, beside the drovers' road from Scotland to York, led the racing to move to York and Richmond in 1776. The winning post, a stone obelisk with a sundial, was a Yorkshire icon. The Hambleton Gold Cup was placed on its top.

The Hambleton racing tradition survives. Sir Noel Murless trained here until 1947 with national achievements. Horses are still successfully prepared on the gallops under the guidance of Kevin Ryan and Bryan Smart.

In past times cock fighting was practiced in the hotel yard, with the bets placed upon the mounting block steps.
