    About Greaves Park

    Greaves Park sits on the edge of Lancaster at the Leisure Park on Wyresdale Road. The large beer garden faces almost due south (190°), giving it an excellent sun window from late morning right through the afternoon — one of the broadest exposures on the Golden Pints tracker thanks to its wide open angle of 160°. The garden is spacious enough that even on a busy weekend you can find a spot, with a play area keeping younger children entertained.

    Greaves Park is featured in our guide to the best Lancaster pubs — our editorial pick of the 17 city pubs grouped by character.
