Introduction

High Cross Inn is prominently situated on the outskirts of the small market town of Broughton-in-Furness with impressive views in all directions from the Cumbrian fells all the way to the sea. It is conveniently placed on the A595, ideal for those passing through on their way to other parts and those wishing for a relaxing stay. The inn prides itself in providing flexibility in the provision of food, drink and accommodation to its visitors. Six bedrooms are available, each offering a view of either the fells or the sea (or both). All rooms come with a television and DVD player, tea and coffee making facilities and private bathroom. Use the inn as a base to explore what the Lake District has to offer - amble around Ambleside, cruise on Coniston Water, explore Eskdale Valley, discover Hawkshead's history and heritage, a walk in Wasdale, or in Windermere.

History to the present day

High Cross Inn has been serving beer for the best part of 190 years and in 1820, it was known as the High Cross farmhouse, and was significantly smaller than it is today, with various additions incorporating the barn into the main building. What was true then, thanks to the Beer Act - legalising the brewing of beer for home consumption or sale, is so today in that the High Cross serves teas & beer to visitors to the Duddon Valley area.

Good food is served throughout the day in friendly, comfortable surroundings, in either the cosy bar, traditional stone walled restaurant, or the conservatory restaurant overlooking the Duddon Valley.
