I was told the Bowes Hotel near Darlington is the most elevated pub in England, my mate thinks that the Coach and Horses in Derbyshire is.  Can anyone clarify please?  Thanks all.

The Tan Hill Inn, isolated on a forlorn chunk of the northern Pennines, has traditionally been accepted as the highest pub in England at 1732ft/528m. However, its supremacy has been challenged by the Cat and Fiddle Inn, situated on a windy ridge astride the Cheshire / Derbyshire border in the west of the Peak District.
Traditionally, the Cat and Fiddle's height has been given as 1690ft/515m, making it the second highest pub in England. But last year the landlord decided to ask for a precise, satellite-based reading - and the Cat and Fiddle came out at 1772ft/540m, making it now officially the highest pub in England.

I always thought it was the tan hill Inn, with no telephone, mains generated power ( all generator ). Only sheep for customers etc.

It's the Tan Hill in North Yorkshire, the one where Ted Moult used to demonstrate Everest double glazing.  I know that because my brother and I stopped off there for a well deserved Theakston's Old Peculiar whilst walking the Pennine Way back in July 1989. However, he was much more of an earnest walker than me and after deciding that I'd had more than enough ale just upped and went, with me haring after him and falling heavily down a rabbit hole!  Isn't it funny, the things you remember?

Regards
