The Old Crown

Highlight • Other

Pub in the heart of Hesket Newmarket, serving, among other beers, beer from the local, cooperatively run microbrewery "Hesket Newmarket Brewery" (founded in 1988).

Quote from the website:
The pub is owned by a cooperative with around 150 customers and supporters from the local and wider community.
It is England's first registered cooperative-owned pub.

In 2024, The Old Crown won the Cumbria Life Awards for "Best Pub or Bar."

We were there on a Monday - unfortunately, there was no food that day, but there was an open stage where various musicians performed songs.

Hesket Newmarket Village

Highlight • Pub

Hesket Newmarket is a picturesque village in the northern part of the Lake District National Park. It sits on a terrace above the River Caldew valley and is surrounded by rolling hills, meadows, and footpaths.
The village center consists of 18th-century cottages surrounding a long village green with a covered market cross. Although granted a market charter in the 18th century, it remained primarily a rural settlement. Today, you'll find a village shop, a post office, and the Old Crown Inn—the UK's first cooperatively run pub, renowned for its local character and connected to the Hesket Newmarket Brewery, also cooperative and beloved by beer lovers.

Nice little town with all aspects covered one could wish for. A pub, a tearoom, a nice church with old cemetery, a river, some small shops, and so on.
