Extensively remodelled with a name change, in 2014, to make better use of a lovely, grade I listed, 17th century building. Popular with tourists and locals alike - great reputation for excellent ales and superb food. Dogs are welcome in Public Bar only. Nearby is the station for the beautifully scenic Cumbrian Coastal railway, running between seas and cliffs, with views of mountains (eg Sca Fell and Great Gable) rivers, tidal lagoons and wildlife reserves; the ancient St Bees Priory c 1120 with its legendary Father Willis organ and lovely bells, and extensive history displays, and also, of course, St Bees Head and beach, where the 192 mile Coast to Coast walk traditionally begins.
