The Blue Lion Inn says on its homepage that “The jewel in the crown of the Blue Lion Inn is the landscape that surrounds it”. We think we know what they’re trying to say. However, we are in no doubt at all about what they were saying about shooting grouse in an August 2024 advert that was a full-throated roar of support for the start of the grouse-killing season (which would have kicked off almost within earshot of the pub). Oddly the pub also pitches itself at lovers “of walking, birdwatching” perhaps not understanding that birders are not actually looking to sit at a bar with a bunch of people talking about killing the very birds they came to see…
