Our History

Welcoming travellers and visitors for generations

The Cover Bridge Inn has welcomed travellers for centuries, originally serving those journeying through Wensleydale along the old routes that crossed the River Ure nearby. Built as a traditional coaching inn, it became a familiar resting place for people moving between the market towns and across the Dales.

Over time the inn has changed hands and names, but its purpose has remained much the same a place to pause, refresh and enjoy simple hospitality. Many of the building’s character features still remain, giving a sense of the long history that continues today.

A Riverside Setting

Surrounded by open countryside and set beside the River Cover, the inn sits in a peaceful part of Wensleydale where life moves at a gentler pace. With walks from the door and nearby market towns a short drive away, it is an ideal place to pause during a day exploring the Yorkshire Dales.
