The Anvil Inn is situated in the little village of Sawdon, 1.5 miles north of the A170 tourist route which links the market town of Thirsk in the west with the seaside resort of Scarborough in the east. The village is on the edge of Wykeham Forest with its stunning viewpoint over Dalby Dale -all in all it is beautiful walking country.

Sawdon is well placed for access onto the A64 and the ancient city of York, as well as the Yorkshire coast resorts of Whitby, Scarborough and Filey- also known as the Dinosaur Coast because of the cliffs and beaches rich in fossils.

The Anvil Inn was a working forge until the mid 1980s. The building itself is over two hundred years old and the blacksmith’s workshop- now the bar- retains almost all of its original features. There is a wealth of memorabilia such as the old furnace, the bellows, lots and lots of tools, and of course the anvil itself.

Sit yourself down on the old pew and enjoy a pint of real ale or a glass of wine after a walk through the dale with its beautiful springtime rhododendrons, or relax in the pretty beer garden and enjoy a glorious Sawdon sunset.

All this combines to make it a characterful and atmospheric place to come for a drink or a meal – candlelit at night and warmed by the log burning stove.

Chef/proprietors Mark Wilson and Alexandra Warricker will be delighted to see you and will do all they can to ensure your visit to the Anvil Inn is as enjoyable and memorable as possible.
