Country inn dining, comfortable stays and a warm Cumbrian welcome.

ABOUT US
A Traditional Country Inn
in the Heart of Armathwaite
Set on Front Street in the village of Armathwaite, The Duke’s Head Inn is a welcoming country inn where good food, comfortable stays and a genuine village-pub atmosphere come together in one of the Eden Valley’s most scenic settings.

Rooted in the Eden Valley
The Duke’s Head Inn sits in the heart of Armathwaite, a popular Cumbrian village beside the River Eden. Surrounded by countryside and well placed for walkers, canoeists, anglers and visitors exploring the area, the inn has long been the kind of place people naturally gravitate towards — somewhere to stop, settle in and enjoy the slower pace of village life.
​
That setting shapes everything about the experience here. There is a sense of comfort in being close to the river, the countryside and the rhythm of a proper local village, while still offering a welcoming base for those arriving from further afield.
​
With Armathwaite station just a short walk away on the Carlisle–Settle line, The Duke’s Head Inn is as well suited to destination visits as it is to convenient overnight stays and short breaks.
