Sticklebarn and the Langdales

We’re serving up something a little different at Sticklebarn in Langdale - super tasty, planet friendly food and drinks, all in the name of a great cause – looking after the Lakes.

We are continually looking to find ways to embed sustainability into all aspects of our operation at Sticklebarn including the way we handle waste, the equipment we use in the kitchen and the way we source our ingredients.

Enjoy the countryside in all its glory on one of our walks in the dramatic Langdale Valley. Choose from short, serene low-level walks to fell top expeditions. Combine your adventure with a trip to our pub Sticklebarn for the perfect pit-stop and a hearty meal.

Like many of us today, celebrated historian George Macauley Trevelyan fell completely in love with the Langdale valley during his family holidays here. So much so, that he was inspired to become its chief protector. This year we’re sharing some unique photos of their experience in the valley – 100 years on.

We have to be truthful, sometime it rains a little bit in Langdale and sometimes it rains a lot. But don’t be put off from a day out in the valley because actually some things are even better on a wet day. Here are our wet weather top tips.

We are so pleased that Sticklebarn is the first National Trust hydro-powered pub and we're serving you one of the greenest pints in the UK.
