The Old Crown in Hesket Newmarket is a co-operatively owned pub, run for the community by the locals who clubbed together to save it. Behind it sits the Hesket Newmarket Brewery, founded in 1987, whose ales pour by the open fire — Chris Bonington helped launch it, and the Prince of Wales called in to honour it in 2004. A genuinely special village local, worth going out of your way for.
