A 1628 building in the hamlet of Seatoller at the foot of Honister Pass, a hundred yards from the National Trust car park and the start of the Thorneythwaite and Honister paths. Dogs are welcome inside as well as in the beer garden, with water bowls and treats given out on request, which matters at the wet end of Borrowdale where an outdoor-only pub is no use for half the year. It is the last pub before the pass, so it takes the whole of the Seathwaite and Great Gable traffic on a bad afternoon.

Livestock — leads on Water bowls

Five and a half miles and about two and a half hours for 230 metres of climb: the Allerdale Ramble along the Derwent from Seatoller, then the slate spoil zigzag onto Castle Crag, the smallest Wainwright and the best view in Borrowdale. Start at the National Trust Seatoller car park at the foot of Honister, paid, around 60 spaces, and usually the last car park in the valley to fill. The riverside section is enclosed and the Derwent has deep pools a dog can swim in, but the final 80 metres onto the crag climbs loose slate spoil that cuts pads and is genuinely steep, and the summit is a small rocky platform with drops on three sides - many people leave the dog with a companion at the col.
