Lake District Pubs and Inns GuideThe Lake District and Cumbria is considered by many to be the best county in the UK for the choices of traditional Pubs, Bars & Inns. Many of the Pubs have won various accolades in the eating out guides and the national press. The Mitchelin Pub Guide has awarded it's "Pub of the Year" title to Lake District Pubs & Inns on several occasions in recent years. Many of the Lake District Pubs and Inns have a great deal of history attached, with the term “Inn” being associated with accommodation. Some modern-day pubs were originally "Coaching Inns," situated on the original routes used by horse and carriage. The Inns would accommodate the travellers and the horses would stay in an adjoining barn.  Lots of these Pubs & Inns have kept the open log fires, stone floors and exposed oak beams, giving them a real cosy atmosphere on dark winters' nights. A growing number offer mainly locally sourced food and real ales brewed here in the Lake District. There are several locally brewed beers that are served in many Lake District Pubs, Bars & Inns with Hawskhead and Coniston breweries being amongst the most well known. There is also an increase of local "Micro Breweries" where beer is produced on the same site as the pub or inn and may only be sold at select outlets. The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is very strong in the Lake District and Cumbria! If you have a favorite Lake District Pub or Inn, that you can highly recommend, let us know and will see about featuring it on the Lake District Pubs & Inns Guide.
