The delightful tale of a young couple who in the late 1970s, on
impulse, became the new landlords of the most remote, bleak and
lonely pub - The Tan Hill Inn - located in the desolate landscape
of the Yorkshire Dales. Having seen an article in the newspaper
about the pub's search for a new manager, they arrived just three
weeks later as the new landlords of the The Tan Hill Inn. It is a
wild, wind-swept place, set alone in a sea of peat bog and heather
moorland that stretches unbroken as far as the eye can see. With
only sheep and grouse for company, their closest neighbour was four
miles away and the nearest town twelve. They had no experience of
licensed trade or running a pub, no knowledge of farming and a
complete inability to understand the dialect of the sheep farmers
who were their local customers. Eager, well-meaning, but in over
their heads, our two heroes embarked on a disaster-strewn career
that somehow also turned into a lifelong love affair with the
Dales. The Inn at the Top is an entertaining ramble around the Inn,
the breath-taking Dales countryside and a remarkable array of local
characters, giving an insight into life in a very different
different time and place.
