This Pub is Closed Long Term
*** Contracts exchanged 27 June 2025, The Punch Bowl Inn, Burton in Lonsdale Ltd - a Registered Society for the Benefit of the Community - is working to refurbish, and reopen the pub ***
Village inn, on a back street, but worth seeking out. Garden with lovely views across the valley. Dates back to the 1700s, may have been a former farmhouse. The last pub in this nice sleepy village, strange to think, that once there were six or more pubs, the last one to close being the Joiners. Sports TV in back room, does not intrude on bar.
