The Fox is a traditional village pub set in the old village of Menston amidst the stunning scenery of Yorkshire's Wharfedale Valley, which is next to the Lake District, is one of the most visited areas of Northern England. The Fox in Menston sits just a couple of miles from the famous Cow and Calf rocks viewpoint near Ilkley, and only a short distance from the market town of Otley.
