The New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, Langdale

It's a shame the nearby campsite has become such a packed and troublesome spot on a bank holiday.
Go mid-week, or in the depths of winter. Great beer, roaring fire and somewhere to dry your socks.
A very special spot, even if I shall be forever haunted by some very hazy memories in the hikers bar of an inflatable sheep.

The Bankhouse Inn, Pudsey

Worth a visit for the view alone. I doubt there are many pubs within 6 miles of a large city centre like Leeds to have such a nice outlook.
Guest beers are OK, if sometimes in short supply. Food is good too. You can even pull up outside on your horse and enjoy a pint over the fence.
If there's a downside then it's the trying-too-hard-to-be-olde-worlde decor. But I'm being picky.
