The Station Inn, Carnforth

Stone built Dales pub at the foot of the spectacular Ribblehead Viaduct (Batty Moss viaduct to its friends and family) in famous walking and train spotting country.The door opens into a public bar area, decorated with a number of clocks and railway memoriabilia. To the left, further areas which I think were laid up for dining. The bar ,at right angles to the door, dividing the pub,offered four real ales on our October visit, while waiting for a train.I had a well kept pint of Wensleydale Session Bitter sitting in front of the open fire. Dogs are welcome,and the pub is popular with walkers and those doing the Three Peaks, situated as it is at the foot of Whernside.An adjacent barn has been converted into a bunkhouse, and letting rooms and camping facilities are available. Our brief visit didn’t really do the pub justice, but it seems a classic.
