Geocache Description:


This is a superb view across the river Lune to Snatchems. There has been an Inn on this land since the mid-1600s. The main building was built in 1710 with an extension (large room downstairs) added 1790. There are several stories of how the nick name 'Snatchems' came about; one is from when all the local farmers used to gather for a drink in the mid-1700s, in those days many farmers made a living thatching roofs and the pub was nick named 'Thatchems'. But the more interesting explanation is from when the River Lune was used as a shipping channel and as the tall ships were about to sail out on the high tide they would check how many men they had and make up any short-fall by sending a boat across to the pub and 'Snatch' anyone they could...when they sobered up they would be half way to India!
