The village pub, the whitewashed Sun Inn, dates from 1711. The Sun is a traditional Lakeland inn with stone floors and roaring fires in the winter, it began life as a row of cottages, the occupants of one of them served beer to travellers from a front room.
Traditional, atmospheric, friendly run, dog and child friendly pub, in the beautiful setting of Crook, just outside of Kendal, within the beautiful Lake District and only five miles from Lake Windermere.
Buildings are a blend of the old and new, predominantly grey stone and slate, all the farms are very old during the 14th or 15th century, one still retains round chimneys, a typical feature of Lakeland architecture, built to withstand the fierce winds prevalent during the winter. Hills, trees, rocks and water form the landscape around the village of crook. Hills are small, the highest point just 249 metres above sea level. The great war memorial hall is the meeting place for the young farmer’s club, the women’s institute and the crook folk dance society to raise money for the upkeep of the hall.
