Hesket Newmarket is a picturesque village in the northern part of the Lake District National Park. It sits on a terrace above the River Caldew valley and is surrounded by rolling hills, meadows, and footpaths.
The village center consists of 18th-century cottages surrounding a long village green with a covered market cross. Although granted a market charter in the 18th century, it remained primarily a rural settlement. Today, you'll find a village shop, a post office, and the Old Crown Inn—the UK's first cooperatively run pub, renowned for its local character and connected to the Hesket Newmarket Brewery, also cooperative and beloved by beer lovers.
