A historic Yorkshire Dales country inn which dates back to the 13th century has been forced to close its doors due to a steep rise in energy costs. The Green Dragon Inn at Hardraw, Hawes, North Yorkshire, has been renowned for its beer, food and rooms.
The pub was also known for being the gateway to the highest single-drop waterfall in England, known as Hardraw Force, which was used for the 1991 Kevin Costner film, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
The Green Dragon is believed to have shut earlier this month (September). A statement on the establishment's website reads: "Unfortunately due to the current economic situation and the steep rise in energy costs, The Green Dragon Inn is closed until further notice."
