A seventeenth-century hall turned inn in Gosforth, the last village of any size before Wasdale, with a bar that serves the full menu to walkers straight off the fells. Dogs are welcome in the bar and the beer garden; the restaurant is kept dog-free.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs are welcome in the bar and beer garden, not the restaurant.

Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.

Is this your pub?

Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

CA20 1EW
No reviews yet

A bed and breakfast in a seventeenth-century farmhouse at Bolton Head, on the lane between Gosforth and Nether Wasdale, ten minutes from the foot of Wast Water and half an hour from Wasdale Head. Its own site states that dogs are welcome in three of the bedrooms, which is the only published bedroom dog policy in Gosforth parish. No charge is published, so agree it when you book. It is a useful fallback when Wasdale Head is full, which it is most summer weekends.

Lion & Lamb is a pub on The Square, Gosforth. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.

Ponsonby Fell and the river Bleng from Gosforth

Livestock — leads on Off-lead allowed Water bowls

Seven and three quarter miles and about three and a half hours for 260 metres of climb, out of Gosforth village along the Bleng into the forestry and over the shoulder of Ponsonby Fell - a quiet corner that sees a fraction of the traffic of the central valleys. It starts in Gosforth itself, where there is free on-street parking around the square and by the church with its Viking cross. The river is the best of it for a dog, running clear over gravel with plenty of access, and the forest tracks are enclosed for off-lead walking, but the fell section crosses grazed open ground, there are two ladder stiles that a large dog cannot manage without help, and the return lane carries fast local traffic for half a mile.

Nobody has written one for Gosforth Hall Inn. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.
