Another "help me find" thread; lowest pub.

singist · 2 Oct 2007 at 13:58

I'm trying to find the lowest (sea level or below) pub in England.

Some friends have just cycled from Liverpool to Leeds along the canal with me doing the back up crew in a van; they now want to do the highest pub to the lowest.

Highest is easy: the Tan Hill Inn in the northern Pennines at 1732 ft.

Now trying to find the lowest ..... and assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps somewhere in the fens near Ely or something where it was drained ..?

For the lowest pub in Britain, head to The Admiral Wells at Holme (nr. Peterborough) in Cambridgeshire, which sits at -10' below sea level.

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 new landlord decided to ask some scientific boffins to give him a precise, satellite-based reading - and the Cat and Fiddle came out at 1772ft/540m, making it now officially the highest pub in England.
