The Inn at Tan Hill is England's highest pub, standing 1732 feet above sea level. It's a beautiful, and extremely remote spot. Be warned - if you intend going to it via the Buttertubs Pass (supposedly England's most spectacular pass) from Hawes, be prepared for some extremely tricky roads! There's one road which climbs at the rate of 1:3, which is also little wider than a car, and features a 180 degree uphill hairpin!
We made it, but opted to return via a slightly longer, but less aggressive route! Be prepared also, for the chickens, ducks and sheep who wander in and out of the pub at will, and are generally found snoozing in front of the fire, which is kept alight all year round.
This is their choice of transport in inclement weather..............................'nuff said! Actually, you can rent this for the night, as sleeping accommodation!
