This is one of the special counties I’ve been looking forward to as it was always likely to be the lowest highest pub (if you see what I mean). As with most of the lower, flatter counties, it was quite hard to determine the highest pub but I think I…

40. The Lowest Pint in the United Kingdom: The Admiral Wells, Holme (5m)

This adventure was a little special extra treat in the quest to walk to the highest pubs in the country. It’s (arguably) the lowest in the British Isles! There is another contender (The Marsden Grotto, South Shields),…

39. The Highest Pint in Lincolnshire: The White Hart Inn, Ludford (126m)

Lincolnshire isn’t known for being hilly, but I knew from previous visits that there are some beautiful areas of the county especially the Lincolnshire Wolds in the north of the county. True to form, this is where I…

This pub was a challenge to identify, and it’s possible that I’m wrong about it. I had thought the highest pub in Lancashire to be The Grey Mare nr. Oswaldwistle at 321m because various Google search returns called it “one of the highest in England”. In fact the “Lancashire Telegraph”…

Somewhat surprisingly, the highest pub in Scotland is not in the Highlands, but in the Lowther Hills of Dumfries and Galloway. Although I’ve been concentrating on the English counties, I was on the way south from Edinburgh and this was an opportunity not to be missed! Sadly, the weather forecast…

Having visited the highest pub in Durham (Langdon Beck) the day before, it’s only a short hop across the hills and Weardale to the valley of the River Allen. This is one of the highest pubs in the country in an interesting but bleak part of the country.

The route…

Very excited. As a geology student in Durham quite some years ago I spent many hours traipsing around the Pennines, in the rain, looking at outcrops of rock that all looked the same to me! One of our field trips included a walk to to the beautiful High Force waterfall…

It was quite a challenge to identify the highest pub in Warwickshire; a job seemingly more complicated more other counties by it’s 1974 administrative re-organisation into West Midlands and Warwickshire. Anyway, I think this is it.
Also unusual is that this is not a rural pub by any means. Most…

I don’t know why, but I though the highest pub in the beautiful rolling hills of Dorset would be higher. But this is the highest I can find! Even The Scott Arms in Kingston, up nr. top of Purbeck is no more than 120m. It was great to be back…
