The United Kingdom is crammed with so many pubs that some of them can’t help but be in some pretty funky locations. For instance, you probably didn’t know that the nation’s northernmost boozer is actually closer to Oslo than it is to London, and the highest is not in the Scottish Highlands, as you might expect, but instead in Richmond, Yorkshire. It’s called the Tan Hill Inn, and soon you’ll be able to experience its views in a whole new way.
The Tan Hill Inn is 528m, or about half a kilometre, above sea level, making it the highest point you can get a pint in the country. It’s also pretty remote. Its closest neighbours are sheep and cattle, and the nearest town is a place called Kirkby Stephen which is 11 miles away and doesn’t even have a Tesco. Basically, you’re in the middle of nowhere, which is why the views of the surrounding Yorkshire Dales are so breathtaking.
And soon it will have a beer garden, where you can enjoy a cold drink in the sun with panoramic views of the Pennines. What more could a person want?
