A Little Pub History

Dating back to 1852, the Bracken Fox was originally known as the New Inn and was owned by a twenty six year old farmer and innkeeper named William Wrigglesworth. The present building is a 1930's roadhouse which was built adjacent to the site of the older New Inn this more modern building had its own brew house which served the pub until a few years ago.

Around The Area

Being close to Hetchell Crags, our rather grand looking pub is a popular stop off with walkers and climbers. And the pub's large gardens go down well for those who love fresh air.
