The Eagle & Child Inn

OpenFreeMap © OpenMapTiles · data from OpenStreetMap · terrain Mapzen/AWS

On the Dales Way and barely a step from Staveley station, the Eagle & Child is about as easy a walkers’ pub to reach by train as the Lakes offer. It sits by the River Kent with a riverside garden, pours a rotating range of Cumbrian ales and does food through the day. Handy for a start or finish on the Kentmere round.
