The Navigation is a traditional community pub half a mile from the centre of Ripon and enroute to the racecourse. It has an open layout with a carpeted lounge area and a pub game section with hard flooring, a darts board and a pool table. The pubs exterior contains benched garden areas to the front and side, providing extra covers for trade on a warm, summers day. The Navigation was extensively refurbished to include new living accommodation in December 2019. Previous years, the pub has been successful on just wet takings, however it does include a catering kitchen, which can be utilised for further trade.
