If walls could talk they may well tell tales of the foundations on which they stand. Believed to be linked to an ancient 15th Century monastery, records for this building date back to 1496AD.
At 1500ft the Inn is the highest inhabited building in Cumbria and the third highest Inn in England.
In the early 1800's the tall stone building at the North end was built as a coach house, the extra height was needed to take the coaches of the day. Around the 1950's it was converted into a garage complete with petrol pump and forecourt. The building has now been converted to a cottage.
