The Traveller's Rest is a hotel and public house in Grasmere, Cumbria, England. Located on the eastern side of the A591, it is a Grade II listed building dating to the 16th century.[1]
An old coaching inn at the foot of Dunmail Raise, the building is two storeys, roughcast over stone rubble with a slate roof. It is in two blocks, stepped down the hillside. The upper block has four 16-paned sash windows on the ground floor and two 12-paned sashes above. The lower block has two doors with modern porches, six sashes on the ground floor and five above, mostly 16-paned.[1]
The pub has one of the highest elevations in England, at 1,475 feet (450 m),[2] about 250 feet (76 m) lower than Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire.
As of 2010, the pub was owned by the Jennings Brewery.
