Shopping

From boutiques and antiques to artisan food producers and local markets, you will find plenty of choice to suit every taste and pocket.

Grassington and Settle are both within 20 minutes drive of The Queens Arms.  Settle, famous for the Settle-Carlisle Railway, offers a good selection of shops including chemist, post office, newsagents, homewares, hairdressing and outdoor clothing.  There are also a number of excellent antique shops and second-hand bookstores and a thriving market on a Tuesday set in the market place under the imposing Castlebergh Crag.

The new Courtyard retail and dining development just outside Settle on the A65 heading towards Skipton provides a beautiful, contemporary oasis of food, wine, cheeses, art, gifts, clothing and interiors with an all day Brasserie restaurant.

Kettlewell, which is a lovely stroll over the fell from The Queens Arms, has a lovely array of independent shops and also a must-visit Tea Room called Zarinas, which serves delicious treats come rain or shine.

Grassington offers a relaxed shopping experience with plenty of cafes and tea shops to stop for a relaxed pot of tea.  Chocolate, crafts, clothing and galleries feature strongly in Grassington along with a pretty cobbled and planted village centre.

The Queens Arms, Litton
As pub locations go, they don’t come better than the Queens Arms at Litton in the heart of the Dales.
The five-mile detour off the busy main Grassington to Kettlewell Road is well worth it for the stunning scenery and heartening hospitality at the quaint 17th- century inn.
After a few years of ups and downs at the Queens, it eventually closed. However, new owners and a total – yet careful – refurbishment in 2012, has put that gloomy era behind them. The upshot – a refreshingly traditional and well-cared-for pub with 4 cosy rooms (including a large family room) for those not wanting to make the long trek home.
Michelle and Matthew Birtley and their 2 girls are hoping to carry on the Queens Arms tradition for many years to come, serving only home cooked & locally sourced ingredients.
All the staff are also local, including talented chef Matt. His outstanding home-cooked food offers all you could dream of on a pub menu, plus a little waft of the contemporary to keep things interesting.
Handmade Pies and Puddings, Fresh Haddock, Beef Dripping Chips and Sunday Roasts (with gravy made the traditional way) are proving extremely popular.
There is a microbrewery on site, where local brewer Thomas Crapper brews his very popular Littondale Pale Ale, Queens Best Bitter plus a Dark Brew.
We are also proud to serve Tetley’s cask.
Food is served in the bar area which you will share with the locals, farmers, their dogs and even possibly a visiting darts team. For larger party dining we have the cosy fire in the Littondale Bar to gather around, in here we can seat up to 28 comfortably.
