Built in the mid 1700s the Blue Bell Inn is purportedly named after a local privateer’s boat the Blue Bell. Legend has it that he was later caught and hanged for his piracy and is thought to be buried a few hundred yards away in the cemetery next to Halkyn Castle At 840 feet we are near the top of Halkyn Mountain with spectacular 60 mile views over the Dee & Mersey rivers to the Cumbrian mountains & Pennine hills. Real fires in winter add to the warm welcome. We’ve had hundreds of different cask ales and our own Blue Bell Bitter is always available along with other regularly changing well kept real ales. We are in the Good Beer Guide 2007 and have been awarded the Cask Marque for our beer quality. Our food is a mixture of locally sourced, homemade and traditional meals ranging from lighter bites to those that challenge the hungry.
