I think the highest in Northumberland is the Twice Brewed Inn. If you park at Steel Rigg you can walk along Hadrians Wall, past Sycamore Gap and Crag Lough then head back to the pub.

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” says “The Grey Mare is one of the highest pubs in England situated on the moors of Lancashire, over 10,000ft above sea level”. That would certainly make it the highest! However, I had another check before setting off and found a gem, the Dead Lane Ends Tavern nr. Colne at 338m. And that’s what I settled for! Parking in the overflow Car Park of the pub, go through the gate to the back and head northwards and up over the moor. The paths are reasonably well marked at this point and contour the hill before dropping down towards a farm nestled in a small valley. The path passes to the right (east) of the farmhouse and down towards the corner of the woods on the left side of the valley. At the bottom is a small bridge and the Public Footpath heads through a private garden below a lovely looking house to the left and emerges back onto open moorland. Across a couple of fields, the route heads through an avenue of newly planted trees and to the left of a farmhouse. From here the route follows the farms access track, roughly contouring the hill to the left. At the northwest corner of the hill, the track merges onto a lane, but the route heads south east on a track up the hill to the left. The next section is not easy! Wet and rough, with an indistinct path. There are lovely view from here all-round, including Pendle Hill. The “path” eventually crosses a farm access track and, slightly clearer now continues up around the small hill straight ahead. There is a fork in the path, follow the right hand option. Further around the hill, the pub comes into view and it’s a short distance back down to the car park. Again, the views are superb from here. This walk looked nice on paper, but turned out to be hard work, especially in the south west where the paths were not clear and the terrain boggy and rough. The views all the way round were however, spectacular! Fortunately though, the pub is wonderful! It was quite busy for a lunchtime in the middle of nowhere and you can see why. The staff were lovely and friendly, making both myself an Poppy (the spaniel) very welcome. The beer, “Filly Close Blond” from the Reedley Hallows Brewing Co. was delicious and the snack (Black pudding fritters) was lovely and just right for a light lunch. Fantastic pub, shame about the walk! (I have no-one to blame by myself!). Completed (30/10/25) 1. Surrey: The Botley Hill Farmhouse, Woldingham (261m) 2. Kent: The Cock Inn, Ide Hill (203m) 3.

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 wasn’t good for the day, but as the Norwegians say, “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes”! This is a circular route starting at the Wanlockhead Inn itself. From the car park, follow the road east through the sparsely populated village (note the Miners Library on the left) towards the B797. Cross the road and head up a gated access track and up over the moor. After a short distance there is a rough track heading across the moor past some shooting hides. Follow this track until it joins a slightly more obvious track coming from the south west and start heading toward the north east. There is a small reservoir down to the right which is a legacy of the long gone lead mining in the area. In fact, there are artefacts of the industrial heritage everywhere. Leaving the reservoir behind to the right, the route carries more or less straight on ignoring a more obvious marked route to the right (east). Further round the hill Leadhills comes into view and the Leadhills and Wanlockheads Narrow Gauge Railway. This is currently a 0.75 mile section of track constructed by volunteers along the old miners railway track across the top of the pass towards Wanlockhead from Leadhills. Follow the track beside the railway north toward Leadhills Golf Club (ed. this looks like fun, but for another project on another day!). The road now descends into the village, emerging next to the Hopetoun Arms Hotel. Although this does have a Public Bar, it has limited opening hours (5pm on the day of the walk). And it’s not the highest in Scotland! The route now heads north and back up the pass towards Wanlockhead. Initially, follow the road and then forks left past the church. There’s a beautiful row of cottages up on the left. The track eventually joins the railway, and follows its route. Before you reach Wanlockhead at Holland Summit the railway tracks finish at a small “station”. At 1498 ft, this is Britains highest adhesion railway! There’s some interesting information here on the disused Glengonnar mine, the remains of which are visible to the south nr Leadhills. The walk follows the old railway cutting back toward Wanlockhead and rejoins the road back down to the Wanlockhead Inn. The weather was a mix of sunny spells and showers, but not enough of the latter to dampen the spirits. This was an interesting walk over the moors and through the area’s rich industrial lead mining heritage. Some of the mining here was deep: vertical shafts to sea level from around 1500’ elevation! The restored railway section is impressive, and I understand it’s planned to extend further. A round of golf here would be a lot of fun in the right weather. The Wanlockhead Inn is an amazing place. The collection of interesting items starts in the car park (see photos) and inside it looks as if the Inn doubles as the clubhouse of a motorcycle club with references to biking everywhere. They have their own beer (“1531”) available; Lager, IPA, Stout….This used to be brewed in a microbrewery onsite, but is now produced in Glasgow. I had a pint of 1531 IPA (and lager later) and both were very good. The barmaid was friendly and helpful. It’s a fascinating and fun place to visit! This was a nice outing. The walk is in beautiful moorland, and the industrial legacy is interesting. The pub itself is a one off and worth a visit! Completed (28/10/25) 1.

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 starts at a small car park below Allenheads next to a bridge over the River East Allen. Follow a rough but clear track south west and uphill. The first remains of the extensive lead mining industry from the industrial revolution are visible here and all the way up the moor side. The paths here are not very clearly marked, and the terrain is rough and boggy in places. The path starts to flatten out a bit and the route then turns south and then south east past a number of (very) derelict buildings and more remains of the lead mines including some closed off shafts. There is a small area of forestry to the east and the path eventually skirts round to the south of this and emerges onto a track heading down into Allenheads itself past a small reservoir on the right. The village is beautifully nestled right down in the head of the valley. In Allenheads there are various reminders of the lead mining, including a visit centre and old Blacksmiths Shop heritage display. The Allenheads Inn is right in the middle, and can’t be missed (note: check the opening hours, they’re limited!). From the Inn, follow the road along the bottom of the valley and back to the car park. Interestingly “The Mole Catchers House” can be seen on the left! Despite the interesting lead mine heritage seen everywhere along the walk, the hike itself wasn’t the most interesting. The poor weather didn’t help, but the terrain is rough and boggy and the paths poorly marked. The Allenheads Inn is however very nice, and a lovely log fire was very welcome on the damp day of the walk. There are all sorts of interesting artefacts in the bar. I enjoyed a very nice pint of Wylam Gold and a nice chat with the barman. Nice pub definitely worth the visit, but there may be a more interesting walk out there! Completed (25/10/25) 1.

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 on the River Tees that was wasted to my 19 year old self but which I couldn’t wait to revisit 45+ years later on this walk! Park at the High Force Hotel Car Park (charged). From here the route followed the minor road up the valley all the way to Langdon Beck. The road option can be avoided by using paths on the hillside, but the was followed in this case in the interests of time and weather! Half way along the road is a viewpoint worth stopping at and highlighting the view across the valley to Cronkley Scar with the impressive Whin Sill outcrops clearly visible. There are also a couple of stone carvings demonstrating the awe inspiring geological scale of the rocks visible from here. Not long after entering Langdon Beck, the hotel appears across the small bridge. From the Langdon Beck Hotel, follow the Langdon Beck for a few hundred yards until it joins the Harwood Beck and turn left just after the bridge.The path is narrow at first, following the Harwood Beck until it merges with the River Tees. It then joins the Pennine Way and becomes a well trodden path, in sections with flagstones laid down to protect the path across the wetter sections. Following the path you can see the workings of a quarry across the river, where the hard dolerite of the aforementioned Whin Sill has been extracted. Soon the sound from the waterfall can be heard as High Force itself approaches. The view of the fall from the south side of the Tees is fantastic, and free (the walk on the other side is charged, currently £3.95 pp)! After the waterfall, the path carries on and downhill until it drops into valley and a lovely bridge takes you across the river. Heading north from here along the east side of the river, and then steeply uphill, the route is complete and you’re back at the High Force Hotel Car Park. This walk and pub didn’t disappoint despite my high expectations. I passed a huge group of students out on the fell who were recreating my own experience of 45 years ago! High Force is spectacular, and can be viewed very nicely from the free south side. The Langdon Beck Hotel was a lovely stop. The landlady/barmaid was very friendly and interested in what I was doing and I enjoyed a very fine pint of Northern Pale form the Three Brothers Brewery. If I’d had a little more time I would have used the footpaths up on the hill to the east of the road. One of the best! Completed (25/10/25) 1. Surrey: The Botley Hill Farmhouse, Woldingham (261m) 2.

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 of the walk is through or around housing estates in suburban Dudley. Parking in a small car park on Wrens Hill Road (Caution: closes 3 pm!) the walk heads south into the Wren’s Nest National Nature Reserve. To the left after a short distance there is a lot of evidence of limestone quarrying that dominated this small area in the industrial revolution and which finished in 1925. It’s fascinating for it’s geology and is rich is fossils. The limestone beds are steeply dipping and one sloping bed is clearly covered in ripples. The walk follows the circumference of the outcrop, crossing Wrens Hill Road again until it skirts off to the west of Parkes Hill Pool. This used to be used as a reservoir, but is now saved for fishing. At the top NW corner of the lake, follow the path to the west, firstly across a small grassy area, and then skirting north and then west around a school. At the far end of this where the housing starts is a beautiful mural on the wall with a well kept garden below. This is a sad and poignant memorial to a 16 year old girl, Liberty Grace Charris who was killed in 2022 by a driven who mounted the kerb during street racing. Co-incidentally, friends and relatives were on a charity walk to Dublin only last week in memory and to raise money. From here, the final push to the pub was all uphill along Valley Road. Turn left at the top, and “The Jolly Crispin” is a short distance along the main Dudley Road. From the pub, follow the road south then turn left back into the housing estate. At the bottom, after crossing the road the track heads across Swanbrook Valley before meandering through more housing. Eventually the route crosses Wrens Nest Road and heads back onto the path around Wrens Nest and in a short distance turns to the Car Park. As above, this is a rare example of a highest pub in an urban setting. I was relieved the van still had four wheels on it on my return! About a third of the walk though, through the Wrens Nest National Nature Reserve was fantastic, and another example of a hidden gem uncovered during this project. The pavement walking through housing estates was just something that had to be done. The pub itself, The Jolly Crispin, is lovely. It actually feels like a country pub that’s been transplanted into suburbia! I enjoyed a very nice pint of “Absolution” from the Abbeydale Brewery. It wasn’t quite enough to achieve the literal meaning. A “walk of two halves” with an absolute gem, an oasis of beauty and interest, along the way to a fine pub. Completed (23/10/25) 1.

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 in an area I worked in 40 years ago, and for which I’m very fond. Thid walk is circular, starting at the pub itself which is close to the highest point on the walk. From the pub, the route initially follows the main Crewkerne Road uphill for a few hundred meters (caution, it’s narrow) before heading off downhill to the and left south-east, following a Public Footpath through Hunter’s Lodge Farm (stay to the south-west of the barns). The route then turns left, heading north-east through grass fields towards Weston. The footpaths around here are poorly marked, and difficult to follow perhaps because they’re rarely used, or is it the other way around! One field on the way to Corscombe has been ploughed over. On reaching Knapp Farm and a minor road, the route turns left and northwards for a short distance before turning back towards Weston along the lane. This takes the route to Home Farm where a path to the north starts heading west back up the hill. This is the start of ascent to the highest pub in Dorset! After a steady climb the path joins another minor road toward Crook Hill. This takes you all the way back along the Monarch’s Way to Winyards Gap and the eponymous pub. This wasn’t the most exciting circular walk, save for the beautiful Dorset countryside in lovely weather. The Winyards Gap Inn is however very nice and pretty popular. The views to the north across Dorset are beautiful. Inside the pub is very nicely modernised and offered a nice pint of Tribute Ale, even if it was in a plastic glass (for outdoors). Given that it’s the 5th October, it’c pretty good to be able to sit outside in a lovely beer garden with fantastic views across Dorset! A very nice pub at the end of a slightly boring walk, and the signposting of the paths was poor! Completed (2/10/25) 1. Surrey: The Botley Hill Farmhouse, Woldingham (261m) 2.

Thank you Storm Amy! I’d been looking forward to visiting the highest pub in southern England (where is the N-S divide I wonder?!) and enjoying the views from this lofty establishment on Dartmoor. Amy reduced the visibility to no more than 100m for me, and Poppy and I were drenched by the end of our walk. All the better though to warm up in the pub and mellow out! Parking on the roadside opposite the pub, this circular walk heads initially east across the moor toward Headland Warren and downhill on a well marked track. At the bottom of a small valley are some ruins of old tin mine workings in a little green oasis. Tin mining was once a thriving industry in this area. Here there is a delightful small stone footbridge across the stream. At this point, turn south aiming toward the corner of Soussons Down forestry. The route forks away from the main path following the valley and up into the forestry. The paths through here are well established forestry tracks. One of these veers towards the south-west and eventually emerges at a road at “Ephraim’s Pinch” no less! Heading west a short way there is a small stone Cairn Circle which, while no Stonehenge, is at 8m diameter quite evocative. After a little bit more of the road, the route heads north once again into the forestry and heading steadily uphill. After a while it emerges back onto the moor and on a good day you’ll be able to see the pub a little further up the hill (ed. this wasn’t a good day!). A narrow moorland track takes you back to where you started, the pub. Despite the weather, this was a nice circuit across beautiful moor land and through protective forestry. The Cairn Circle is fun to see as were the old mine workings. Gorgeous pink granite chips and stones everywhere! The Warren House Inn is wonderful. A proper, unspoilt English country pub with wood panelling, a roaring fire, and separate rooms! The barmaid was interested and very friendly (especially to Poppy) and a very nice pint of “Oak IPA” from the Otter Brewery was enjoyed. But as I was still not quite dry, warm or mellow enough, a second was necessary. A lovely experience altogether, despite the best of what Stormy Amy had to offer! Completed (2/10/25) 1.

When I started this project, the highest “pub” in Cornwall was the Cheesewring Hotel nr. Liskeard at 303m. Sadly this burnt down a couple of years ago and The Old Inn in Saint Breward came to the fore, but at only 207m! Still, I can only work with what I’ve got in front of me, and another day, another Moor (Bodmin) ! Luckily I was able to plan this walk the way I like to, with the pub at pretty much the highest point of the route. Recently parking has been an issue (since using the motorhome) and has influenced where I can go. Parking at the Camel Trail Car Park (I arrived just in time, it’s small) the walk heads steadily uphill firstly along a lane, and then across arable fields towards the village of St. Breward. The footpaths are well marked here and at one point pass a lovely row of terraced cottages with beautiful views west towards the Camel Estuary and the open sea beyond. There is a nod to to the industrial heritage of the area (granite and clay extraction) where the road passed below a ruined tramway bridge. Soon the church at St. Breward is visible and The Old Inn next door. From the pub, the route follows the road north for a short distance across the moor before descending toward the valley. Half way down the hill a track departs to the left and the walk follows this before dropping a bit further down the hill to a well walked trail close to the bottom of the Camel Valley. There is an interesting “installation” (I guess) in the woods, with a number of trees/branches painted red. Quite impressive, but what does it mean? Passing through a farm set up as a holiday complex with lots of goats and fowl to enjoy, the path crosses the River Camel before heading up and then down across a spur of land and then crossing an old footbridge. Pretty mucky here as the livestock use the path to access the river! Up and over the next hill, and down the road back to the Car Park. Another very nice walk circular walk at about 8.4 km with the pub at the apex! The aforementioned pub is very nice. Poppy and I were met with a very friendly welcome. The Landlady and others I chatted to were genuinely interested in this frivolous activity! I had a very nice pint of “Merrivale Pale” (Dartmoor Brewery) and a huge ham and cheese sandwich. This was a lovely circular walk to a very fine pub where the welcome was warmer than many. Completed (29/7/25) 1. Surrey: The Botley Hill Farmhouse, Woldingham (261m) 2.

Yet another county where the previous highest pub has been recently closed (Culbone Stables, 2022), and the next highest has to step up! Identifying the highest pub in each county is a forever moving target. Nonetheless, after a break of a few weeks I was really looking forward to visiting Exmoor especially as the highest pub in this case also offers free overnight stays for camper vans! Starting at “The Exmoor Forest Inn” car park, the walk starts across the road and heads up through the woods towards the high ground of Winstitchen. There are pretty good signs along the way (blue paint) until it’s time to head down to the bottom of the valley. There isn’t an obvious path here, so in skiing terms it’s a black run, or probably “off piste” . And then at the bottom, the route crosses a stream. No bridge, so it’s either socks and boots off, attempting to wade across. Suffice to say that “midi” boots were just too short to prevent water ingress! Once across the stream, it’s time to head up the valley on the approach to the highest pub! This is now a well worn path along the valley bottom that skirts around Cow Castle and joins the River Barle. It’s absolutely beautiful here! Great for dogs or even wild swimming for humans. Following the path upstream, the route soon comes across ruins of the old Wheal Eliza minewovrkings. This was a failed copper and iron mine from the mid 1800’s that became infamous in the disappearance of a local girl Anna Burgess. Her body was found at the bottom of the mine after it was drained and her father was hanged for her murder. From Wheal Eliza, the path follows the side of the valley back to Simonsbath where the highest pub in Somerset, “The Exmoor Forest Inn” is found. This is a lovely circular walk in Exmoor’s beautiful scenery. The River Barle on the return part of the walk up the valley is absolutely beautiful (I was blessed with lovely autumnal weather!). Wheal Eliza is interesting, if macabre, and the “Exmoor Forest Inn” is lovely I had a pint of Exmoor “Gold” which was excellent. I also ate in the restaurant later and the food was very nice if a little small. In summary, a lovely walk in wonderful scenery. The pub was very nice too, but perhaps on the gastro to pub scale, a little too far toward the gastro end! Completed (29/7/25) 1. Surrey: The Botley Hill Farmhouse, Woldingham (261m) 2.

It’s becoming more an more difficult to identify these highest pubs as more and more sadly close. I guess this is partly a consequence of high pubs often being quite rural too. "The Cross On The Hill" in Clee Hill was only the third highest in Shropshire a few years ago. It followed the interestingly named “Kremlin", also in Clee Hill, and named after the fact that they could pick up Radio Moscow from the bar! This 9.5 km or so circular walk starts on the outskirts of the village of Clee Hill near Ludlow which commands a fantastic view over the Shropshire hills to the north. It follows a lane servicing active quarry working and a number of farms and houses further up Tiltterstone Clee Hill. I was delighted to be able to identify that there was a dolerite sill (igneous intrusion) being mined - my three years studying geology all those years ago weren’t completely wasted! Reading up the local history afterwards it transpires that coal and ironstone have also been extracted from the hill over the centuries. Further up the track the top of the hill itself becomes visible with various NATS radar installations including a giant golfball. Leaving the farm access track, the route heads across country under the shadow of the hilltop and after a short distance joins the main access track to the radar installations and on to the summit. The view from the top offers a magnificent 360 degree view of Shropshire and beyond! At the top also are Bronze and Iron Age remains in the form of a cairn and earthworks which are clearly visible. Descending from the summit the walk proceeds initially down through a now disused quarry and past a number of fascinating derelict buildings. Beyond these old workings the route descends along the access road and then turn left onto a footpath contouring the hill and back to the village. This last section follows the route of an old railway that once helped bring the quarried stone down. The path finally emerges onto the main road at a crossroads and the eponymous “The Cross On The Hill” pub! The from the pub it’s only a short distance along the main road back to the Car Park. This was a really nice walk in a very interesting area historically, geographically and geologically! The “Cross On The Hill” is a lovely pub, with a friendly landlady and I hope it can do good business and remain the highest around. There were also three friendly local drinkers who I suspect are very much part of the furniture there. That’s what I thought retirement would be like for me! I had a pint of “Chur” from the unusually named “Bang The Elephant Brewing Co.” Which is apparently in Nottinghamshire somewhere. I’d never heard of it, but the beer was excellent. Both of them! In summary, a cracking pub and pint at the end of a fascinating walk with wonderful views. Completed (29/7/25) 1. Surrey: The Botley Hill Farmhouse, Woldingham (261m) 2.
