Black Sheep Brewery Visitor Centre
Overview
Set up by Paul Theakston in the former Wellgarth Maltings in 1992, the complex includes an excellent visitor centre and a popular bar-cum-bistro. Tour the brewhouse and fermenting room to learn how beer is made, then take in the wonderful views over the River Ure and surrounding countryside as you sup tip-top pints of Riggwelter and Golden Sheep. Finally, tuck into a good plate of food. Plenty of black sheep-themed goodies in the gift shop, too. Tours are popular, so book ahead.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
