Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 06:00 · Archive

The CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2027 has recognised dozens of Lake District pubs for exceptional beer, character and location.

The latest edition of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide highlights dozens of pubs across the Lake District national park and surrounding areas, with many recognised for exceptional beer, character and location. The guide features ten standout venues ranging from centuries-old coaching inns beneath towering fells to cosy walkers' haunts.

The Climbers Bar at the Old Dungeon Ghyll sits beneath the Langdale Pikes and is described as a 'watering hole for weary walkers', with local ales on the bar and mountain views across Cumbria. The Drunken Duck, set high above Ambleside, combines spectacular fell views with regional ales served on four handpumps and remains one of the most sought-after pub stops in the national park.

The Kirkstile is a 17th-century country inn and the tap for Cumbrian Ales, sitting beneath Mellbreak with views across the north-western fells. Low beams, open fires and locally brewed beer make it a favourite among walkers and cyclists. The Black Bull serves as the brewery tap for Coniston Brewing and sits in the shadow of the Old Man of Coniston, offering six regular Coniston beers alongside rotating brewery specials.

One of Keswick's best-known pubs, the Dog & Gun offers eight handpumps pouring a mix of Cumbrian and national ales. The pub's character-filled interior and famous goulash have made it a staple of the town's hospitality scene.
