I frequent three local free houses in the Settle area, with an ever changing range of beers from nationwide micro breweries. I'm no 'beard & sandals' beer drinker, but for proper beer drinkers we have never had it so good.
Some of my fav beers at the moment come from Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery... A 35 min bus ride from Settle so perfect for an afternoon mini trip.
The Orange Tree is the 'brewery tap', with rooms, but plenty of other gooddrinking & eating spots in KL, including the rather expensive ( to us) Royal Hotel. Great walking country.. The quiet eastern LD fells around Shap, the Howgills, Dentdale, and recently extended YDNP.
I've spent years walking in those parts...please feel free to ask for any local info.
Regards
