Early evening - just the one ale on - a couple of locals and one guest in - much gossip about absent locals! Just the one hand pump in use tonight. Probably not worth the walk from the station for the beer -I had a six mile round trip cycle to get here. And beware if you get off at Dent station for Dent village it is over 4 miles away.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cross Bay - Halo | 3.60 | | Pleasant enough, if a little bland. |

Black Sheep pub. Decent food and a resident ghost (not another one! I wonder why so many ghosts decide to haunt pubs? Good taste I suppose).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Sheep - Special Ale (previously Ale) | 4.40 | | Best pint so far on our trip up north. Reasonable head which didn't over power the taste. Excellent bite and full hop finish. |
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Cowgill, Dent, Cumbria, LA10 5RG.
Only pub for a few miles in the hamlet of Cow Dub. Large open front bar, with accommodation upstairs. Traditional two bar rural pub with accommodation. This is the nearest pub to the highest railway station in England. Dent railway station is 1½ miles from the pub up (or of course down) a very steep and winding country lane. 2 hand pumps.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 3 different beers and tried 2 of them.
