The building was constructed in the 17th century, as a single-roomed farmhouse. [1] Lying on the route from Lancaster and Middleham, [2] the owner began making money by selling ale to travellers. In the early 18th century, a bar room was added, and stabling and accommodation was offered, the property becoming an inn. [1] Originally known as the "Hare and Hounds", and then as "The Board", [3] it was renamed in the 1840s for the Coverdale Foresters' Friendly Society, a branch of the Ancient Order of Foresters which became independent. [4] The local branch of the foresters maintains a tradition of an annual parade starting from the pub. [5]

The building was altered in the 1980s and reorganised and refurbished in 1990. In 2003, the Wensleydale Brewery was founded at the pub. [6] In 2011, the local community raised £350,000 to purchase the pub and run it as a community co-operative. [3]

The building is constructed of stone with quoins and a stone slate roof. There are two storeys, four bays, a rear outshut, and a cross-range on the right. The doorways have quoined surrounds, one is also chamfered. The windows in the main range are casements, some with architraves, and in the cross-range are sash windows. It has been Grade II listed since 1967. [4]

Middleham Castle is a ruined castle in Middleham in Wensleydale, in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It was built by Robert Fitzrandolph, 3rd Lord of Middleham and Spennithorne, commencing in 1190. The castle was the childhood home of King Richard III, although he spent very little of his reign there. The castle was built to defend the road from Richmond to Skipton, though some have suggested the original site of the castle was far better to achieve this than the later location. After the death of King Richard III the castle remained in royal hands until it was allowed to go to ruin in the 17th century. Many of the stones from the castle were used in other buildings in the village of Middleham.

Coverdale is a dale in the far east of the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire, England. It takes its name from the River Cover, a tributary of the River Ure. The dale runs south-west from the eastern end of Wensleydale to the dale head at a pass, known as Park Rash Pass, between Great Whernside to the south and Buckden Pike to the north. It is accessible by a single track road, which runs the length of the dale and over the pass to Kettlewell in Wharfedale. The name is taken from that of the River Cover, which is of Brittonic origin.
