Tan Hill Inn
Local highlightBritain's highest pub, alone on the moor at the head of Swaledale.
At 1,732 feet up on the open moors above Swaledale, the Tan Hill Inn is the highest pub in Britain — a lone seventeenth-century inn on the Pennine Way, miles from the nearest neighbour. It began life serving local coal miners and now keeps its fires going year-round for walkers and the curious. The nearest village is Keld; Kirkby Stephen station is about 13km west. Check the weather before you set out, especially in winter.
