Hide AdIt sees the detective, renowned for her weather-beaten hats and sturdy Land Rover, tasked with investigating a case featuring the world renowned Tan Hill Inn, Britain’s remotest pub.
And the fact that the 17th century Yorkshire Dales hostelry, the highest pub in the country, keeps its name, and distinct identity, in the drama is one up on Heartbeat where the Goathland Hotel was renamed as the Aidensfield Arms for the TV series.
