Thornton · West Yorkshire
Good food. Good ale.
Yorkshire at heart.
A locally run pub on the edge of Thornton, looking out across Brontë country and the moors.
A pub worth seeking out
On the edge of the moors.
At the heart of Thornton.
Tucked above the village with long views across Brontë country, the Ring O' Bells is the sort of place that rewards the journey.
Helen reopened the doors in March 2025. In late 2026, Bradford business owner Alex joined as a partner, bringing more than two decades of experience running organisations and solving problems. Together, their ambition is to make this one of the best community pubs in West Yorkshire—with well-kept ales, honest British food and a genuinely warm welcome.
