Former Robin Hood / Google Earth Street View.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-02-23. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-02-13.

The Robin Hood, a.k.a. the Robin Hood Inn, c. 1.8 km SSW of Distington, is indicated on a map in an 1839 book on the Lake District.^[1] A much to only slightly earlier record of the pub is found in a collection of Distington deeds from 1713/14–1837 at Cumbria Archive Centre, Carlisle.^[2] In 1901, the Robin Hood was run by a William Crone.^[3] It existed at least as late as 1947.^[4] While the former pub now seems to be a family home, it is (also) listed as a small business under the name of Robin Hood Cottage.^[5]
