Welcome to the Lighthorseman, York

A very warm welcome to The Lighthorseman, a popular local pub situated in the Fulford area of York; an ancient city famed for its rich historical heritage and wealth of fantastic attractions for all to enjoy. We are located close to the Barbican which is approximately a 2 minutes’ walk away and ideally situated for the races too. Did you know that we are also the only pub in the world with our name (as far as we know) and we even have our own friendly ghost, George! We’re also known for our brilliant food, a wide range of great Cask ales and offer quality guest accommodation. So whether you’re here for the weekend or simply coming in for a meal or pint, we look forward to seeing you at The Lighthorseman soon!

Dan and the team.

Why visit The Lighthorseman?

The Lighthorseman is a well-placed pub within the gorgeous city of York. From our doorstep, you can explore the historical sites York has to offer. Give yourself a scare with the York Dungeons or an educational lesson at the Viking Centre, both just a short 5-minute walk away. If visiting leisurely areas are more your thing, the town centre is a brisk walk away and is the perfect location for shopping. We are also located just down the street from the River Ouse, a beautiful spot to walk or cycle down, to take in the scenery York has to offer.
