A lovely local pub in the heart of Dent village this 300-year-old inn sits on the cobbled street near to St Andrew's Church. It has wooden floors, traditional bench seating together with wooden stools and armchairs. In the winter, the coal fires are welcoming for weary walkers. There is a beautiful peaceful garden to the rear, perfect for the summer. Serving two ales from Kirkby Lonsdale and up to two Yorkshire beers.
