Real Ale Ray left this review about The Water Witch
I can see Bucking Fastard and his shipmates moored up here for a good few hours. Taking in the White Cross also, which is only a few minutes further along the canal - two gems along a short stretch of water. For us landlocked ale lovers, the pub is accessible across the nearby canal bridge.
The pub is long and narrow, which is no surprise. The walls were undressed sandstone blocks, with a stone paved floor. The bar is situated on the right of entry, where you see their 14 highly polished handpumps. The left side of the pub was mostly set out for dining, there was also a small mezzanine here. There were 9 ales to choose from on our visit, up to 14 when trade picks up.
We went for the Coniston Bluebird and the Old School Brewery Textbook.

Old canalside building refurbished in a modern clean way and there are benches on the tow path.
Well worth finding with 6 good real ales.
