The Plough is a historic pub on Main Street in Wombleton, a village in North Yorkshire, England.

The timber-framed building was constructed in the late 17th century and was extended to the rear in the 19th century,[1] although the pub describes itself as 15th century.[2] It was designated a Grade II listed building in 1985.[1] In 2025, the pub was listed among the UK's top 100 gastropubs,[3] included in the Michelin Guide,[4] and named best pub in North Yorkshire at the National Bar & Pub Awards.[5]

The public house has a cruck framed core, it is encased in rendered stone, and has a pantile roof. There is a single storey and four bays. On the front is a doorway and horizontally sliding sash windows. In the loft are two pairs of crossed apex crucks. The central room has its original fireplace, with a corbelled chimneypiece.[1]
