Dating from 1796, this former farmhouse became a pub, the Hare and Hounds, in 1820. From around 1841 - 1886 the pub was run by Betty Ashworth, and although the licence was in the name "Hare and Hounds" the pub was always known locally as "Owd Betts". In the 1950s in recognition of this, the brewery formally changed the name. Its reputed locally that the pub is haunted by Betty Ashworth!

Inside the attractive stone building is a traditional bar area with rooms off. There are 3 handpumps on the bar, usually with Wainwright on permanently, and two other guest beers, one of which is normally from a local microbrewery. The pub has an excellent reputation for its food, and is popular with walkers and hikers in coming from the local moors for refreshment. There is ample car parking for those coming by road -
