Leeds to Tan Hill Inn: Road Trip
Thursday, June 4th, 2009Here is the full story of the road trip last week; well the first part of it anyway.
Heading north out of Leeds we stopped off in Bedale, which is a nice market town; much like Leyburn, which we reached next.
Then we headed into wilder country, and travelled over an isolated pass with great views of the dales (dal from Viking). We could see Reeth for a while before heading down the valley into the picturesque village. We then headed up to Bolton Castle, and had a look around the well preserved Medieavel structure.
It was then up some small country roads to higher ground, and a few hours after leaving Leeds we arrived at the Tan Hill Inn, which is Britain’s highest altitude inn at 1732 feet. It has great views for miles, a warm cosy interior and a fine selection of beers. Not to mention nice food and a big TV screen…oh, and lots of animals. See Tan Hill Inn
