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.

More Than Just a Pub

What makes The Duke’s Head Inn special is the balance it offers. It is a traditional country pub at heart, while also offering restaurant dining and comfortable en-suite accommodation in one welcoming village setting. That combination makes it just as appealing to locals as it is to visiting guests.

Some call in for a relaxed drink in the snug or lounge bar. Others book a table for seasonal dining, Sunday food or a meal with family and friends. Many choose to stay in one of the six en-suite rooms and use the inn as their base for exploring the Eden Valley and surrounding countryside.

It is that blend of familiarity, comfort and quality that gives the inn its character.
