Q. Where can you walk a long distance path, get married, remember Ted Moult and struggle to get a signal on your mobile phone? A: England's highest inn, the isolated Tan Hill Inn on the edge of North Yorkshire.
The Inn is popular with ramblers as it is situated roughly halfway along the Pennine Way and is a welcome retreat in a lonely landscape of boggy moorland wilderness. There is no mains electric and TV celebrity Ted Moult made his famous "Everest" double glazing advert here (that's one for TV trivia buffs) -- check out Ted's photo behind the bar! The 17th century inn also has a wedding licence and plan it right and a day trip to the inn could turn into days. As the remote inn -- 1732ft above sea level -- is often cut off in winter.
The Inn is situated at Keld, near Richmond, North Yorkshire. It stands alone on a moorland road between Reeth and Brough, just south of the A66.
