Alfred Wainwright famously described the square mile between Tilberthwaite and Langdale as “one of the loveliest in Lakeland.” At its very centre lies the hamlet of Little Langdale, a truly special setting within the Lake District National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Indeed, the Langdales were instrumental in the area receiving World Heritage status.
For those with a taste for history and culture, In the 1800’s Little Langdale was home to Lanty Slee - a notorious bootlegger, famed for his ingenuity, audacity, and ability to outwit the authorities. He ran a number of illicit stills throughout Little Langdale where he produced his illegal brews.
Only 300m along the valley (and well within staggering distance from Lowfield) you will find the iconic Three Shires Inn (dating back to 1829).
This would undoubtedly have been Lanty’s local - and probably one of his best whisky customers!
Lanty’s legacy has been resurrected, and the Three Shires Inn is now run by The Lanty Slee Liquor Company.
Lowfield guests can enjoy a 20% discount on food and drink there.
