Tan Hill Inn

The Tan Hill Inn, situated on Tan Hill, Yorkshire, is recognised as being the highest inn in England at convert|1732|ft|m|lk=on above sea level. It is situated on an unclassified road approximately convert|4|mi|km|lk=on north of the village of Keld, close to the northern boundary of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

In 1995, the Tan Hill Inn became the first public house in the UK to be granted a licence to hold weddings and civil ceremonies, after new laws were brought in to allow couples to marry in places other than churches or registry offices.
