The White Hart Inn, Hawes

The White Hart is a pub in Hawes, the small market town in upper Wensleydale roughly nine miles east of Garsdale. Hawes is well worth a visit in its own right - with cafes, pubs, restaurants, craft and art shops, antiques and clothing - and the White Hart is one of the dog-friendly pub options in town, serving both meals and drinks, alongside the Board Inn and Caffè Curva for daytime food. Combine it with a visit on Tuesday morning, when the small market takes place and there are often craft fairs in the market hall, or with the Dales Countryside Museum housed in the former railway station, the Wensleydale Creamery's cheese experience and shop, or W.R. Outhwaite & Son, the traditional rope makers on the high street. The White Hart fits somewhere in a full day in Hawes that can also take in Aysgarth Falls to the east or Hardraw Force to the south, depending on the direction of return.

The White Hart is a 16th-century former coaching inn on the cobbled main street in Hawes, directly on the Pennine Way in Upper Wensleydale. It's a freehouse with a good range of local and guest cask ales, and the food is relaxed, home-cooked stuff served across three dining areas, one of which is kept dog-free. It is very dog friendly in the other two. The bar has an open fire and the kitchen turns out breakfast, lunch and evening meals.

There are four simple guest rooms with en-suite facilities, free WiFi throughout, and the front rooms look out over the old cobbled street and St Margaret's Church. There is no parking on site - the note from the guide still stands, park in the market place or main street and walk to the door. Motorbikes and cycles can be arranged with the inn.
