I rather like this old building that makes up the pub part of the Tennants Arms. There's a bit of atmosphere to it, or perhaps I mean gloom. Certainly it was very hard to read the pump clips on the bar. One was from the Lakeland Brewhouse, the renamed Stringers Brewery of Ulverston, though serving a beer called Lakeland Bitter in the Yorkshire Dales seems a bit off. I can't remember what the other beer was, but a third beer was being pulled through while I was drinking my half, which turned out to be not in very good condition. It was very quiet at the time of my visit - lunchtime on a Monday, and I'd already passed one pub down the valley that was not opening Monday and Tuesday afternoons because of staffing problems, so I suppose I should have felt lucky this one was open. The beer may not have been up to much, but I got to admire the very nice chimney piece beside the bar (see photo), so my visit wasn't entirely wasted.

First pub on the InnWay to the Yorkshire Dales. We were a bit concerned we might be early but at 11:23am on a Monday Morning, it was all good.

Lovely roaring fire to great us and the Landlord was a welcome start to the week.

Two buildings, one of fairly rough local stone perhaps dating to the 17th century, the other a more substantial 19th century affair painted off-white, make up this roadside hotel which is just a piton's throw from the prominent Wharfedale landmark of Kilnsey Crag. The right-hand building is the hotel part, with the bar and restaurant accessed through the lower door to the left. The bar is in a stone-flagged room with fake beams and a magnificent fireplace. A dining room to the front of the building is separated by a glass screen and there's a passage to the right to the hotel. Another door to the left admits to a second bar, but the hand pumps here were not in use, though people were sitting in here and it looked a very pleasant room.

On the bar were five hand pumps with three ales available: Copper Dragon Golden Pippin, St Austell Tribute and Wychwood Ginger Beard. The latter had amusingly been written up on the nearby blackboard as "Ginger Bread", but it was definitely a beer, and a very welcome, spicy and refreshing one too. There's a beer garden on two levels to the right of the more modern building, which gets some late afternoon sun despite the nearby overhanging crag.
