Tan Hill Inn!! TICK!!!!!!!!

OMG! Just stayed the night at the Tan Hill Inn. Which has been on my list of things to do for a long time!

What makes the Tan Hill Inn so good, I hear you ask… It’s the Britain’s highest public house at 1,732 feet (528m) above sea level. Even better, it’s dog friendly!

Sorry I did not get many photos! The weather was not the best. Even with the weather I loved it! Already making plans on going back, later this year!
