EGGLESTON Moorcock Inn

At the heart of Upper Teesdale in the North Pennine moors, the Moorcock Inn is a classic north country pub with local real ales, a huge selection of single malts, and excellent home cooked food. This is wonderful walking country, remote footpaths, beautiful unspoilt moorlands, great waterfalls and dramatic castles. After which, a drink on the terrace at the Moorcook, watching the sunsets for which Teesdale is famous. This is also gun dog territory, so look forward to meeting a few working locals. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub (and in the restaurant if not too crowded) as well as bed and breakfast rooms. Fresh water and chews available.
