The Postgate stands beside the platform at Egton station, which makes it the most train-friendly pub in the valley. It takes its name from Nicholas Postgate, the Catholic priest born in the village who was executed in 1679, and it appeared in Heartbeat as the Black Dog. Expect a proper bar, local ales, a menu built on moorland produce, and bedrooms for those walking the Esk Valley Walk or the Coast to Coast.

Hours vary by season; check before making a special journey.
