This CAMRA Good Beer Guide regular lies at the head of the Wasdale valley. The inn is the birthplace of rock climbing, where, in the latter part of the 19th century, the gentleman classes came to climb on the mountain crags, pioneering the first routes, whilst staying at the Wasdale Head Inn. The pub is home to the Great Gable Brewery, and is a magnet to climbers and fellwalkers to this day. It sits in a dramatic setting, surrounded by steep, soaring, craggy mountains. The valley has the deepest lake, the smallest church, the highest mountain, and the biggest liar. Posted by The Eternal
