A Grade II listed traditional inn at the bottom of the infamous 'Struggle', leading up to Kirkstone Pass. An exceptionally cosy multi-roomed pub with a real fire, bench seating, and historical rock-climbing photos decorating the walls. Serves a good range of well-kept Robinsons ales, occasionally featuring their award-winning Old Tom. There is an attractive snug, popular with families and a rear courtyard with outdoor tables. All areas are regularly packed with locals and students from the nearby university, mingling with visiting walkers and climbers.
