Wasdale Head Inn Hotel Cumbria

Address: Near Gosforth, Wasdale Head CA20 1EX, England

Wasdale Head is not really a village but a loosely connected set of cottages and farms set in flat farming land. Its location at the head of the Wasdale Valley guarantees its entry on a list of Lakelands most scenic locations. Yewbarrow, Great Gable and Lingmell Fell all contribute to the view.Although it is Santon Bridge that is famous for its annual Worlds Biggest Liar contest, the tradition began at Wasdale Head. In the 1800s, Will Ritson, the publican of the Wasdale Head Hotel, regaled his customers with tall tales about the areas folk heritage. His stories earned him a mention in a Victorian travel guide to the Lake District. One story was that the local turnips grew so big they were used for sheep sheds. Ritson was also known as a wrestler and huntsman.The Wasdale Head Inn, originally a farmhouse was enlarged by Ritson in 1856 to house overnight guests. There were other alterations over the last century, but the Inn still retains many original features, including a collection of climbing memorabilia. Another Wasdale Head building, the 17th century Rowhead, also served as an inn for walkers and climbers.
