The Coxwold Tearooms offer an alternative source of refreshment on the road out of Coxwold that leads up to the entrance to Newburgh Priory, a Tudor manor house (15th-16th century) built from the original medieval Augustinian Priory buildings (founded 1145) and the lake by the roadside below the priory entrance. Both the priory and the buildings of Coxwold are major tourist attractions.
