The Navigation Inn

Head down Canal Road and you'll find yourself at a proper neighbourhood pub that doesn't need frills to do what it does well. The Navigation Inn sits right by the water, giving it a quietly picturesque edge that sneaks up on you—especially on a decent evening when you can actually enjoy the location. Inside, it's straightforward stuff: locals nursing pints of proper Yorkshire ales, maybe a bit of banter at the bar, the sort of place where the staff know what people want before they ask. It's the kind of pub that's been pulling pints for decades without feeling the need to reinvent itself, which frankly is rather refreshing.
