"ODG redirects here. ODG is also the file extension for an OpenDocument drawing file."

The Old Dungeon Ghyll is a pub and hotel in the Great Langdale valley in the centre of the English Lake District. Originally a farm and inn, in the early 20th century it was sold to the historian Professor G.M. Trevelyan who donated it to the National Trust.It is named after the nearby waterfall, Dungeon Ghyll Force. The hotel and the Hikers Bar have a long association with climbing and many famous climbers have stayed at the hotel or drank in the bar. In climbing circles it is known as the ODG.
