Owned and run by Mike and Margaret, the team at The Shepherds Inn take their food seriously. Don’t get us wrong, this is country pub food, just done consistently well.
We lie 10 miles west on the stunning World Heritage Lake District and a short drive east from the historic market town of Penrith with immediate access to junction 40 -M6 motorway and main line railway station serving all of the major cities.
Melmerby is a great base for gentle (and not so) walks the long steep climb to Hartside forms part of the “Sea-to-Sea” cycle route.
The Helm Wind is a local phenomenon. A very blustery strong wind that blows down from the western slope of Cross Fell, the highest peak in the pennine hills… once experienced never forgotten.
In Cumbria we are lucky to have many new and established brewers. Two of our favourites and most enjoyed are the award-winning Tirrel and Allendale breweries, with beer tastes inspired by the region and local heritage.
Corney & Barrow UK’s oldest ( Est 1780 ) independent wine merchant provides us with carefully selected honestly priced wines that deliver quality and value for money.
