A YORKSHIRE Dales pub which has includes land and a waterfall that featured in a classic Robin Hood film has been put on the market.

The Green Dragon Inn, in Hardraw, near Hawes, owns the land around the Hardraw Force – Britain’s highest single drop waterfall – which is now famed as the location for Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves as he bathed naked in the pool below, as Maid Marion looked on.

Landlord D Mark Thompson and his partner Yvonne Lovatt bought the pub in 2001 when it had several holes in the roof and needed almost a decade of hard work to restore.

The 13th century inn is also home to the Hardraw Scaur Brass Band Festival, famous as the second oldest outdoor brass band festival in the world.

This annual festival which was first contested in 1881 takes place in the natural open-air auditorium of Hardraw Scar.

Mr Thompson promises to keep the festival running after he has spent many years nurturing it. He said he he will maintain it via a contact to ensure it continues in perpetuity.

The scenic surround of the festival was painted by artist JMW Turner 200 years ago and boasts the highest waterfall in England.

The historic Green Dragon Inn was also where Costner reputedly played darts and dominoes with the film crew while waiting to shoot his risqué scene.

And Hardraw Force is also where a Megapezia fossil was discovered in 1977, dating from around 340 million years ago, during the Carboniferous.

It is now housed in London's Natural History Museum, and represented a major find.

But now Mr Thompson, 59, is calling time on the pub, and after putting just the pub up for sale in 2014, he has now decided to put the whole plot on the market for £1.5m – which includes a visitor centre, campsite and 5.5 hectares of parkland.

The Green Dragon offers three lounge bars with traditional fire ranges, two dining rooms and a function room, and features include flagged floors and original stone walls. It also has 14 letting rooms.

Mr Thompson, who has run Dales pubs since 1979, made the reluctant decision to sell party due to the ill health of him and his partner.

He suffered a heart attack last year while Ms Lovatt lives with leukaemia.

He said: “You need youth in a place this big. I thought 10 years ago I would be carried out of here in a box, but you have to bow to the inevitable and take a pragmatic view.”

Mr Thompson admits the pub needs someone with imagination, as they will be "buying into a dream."

The inn is on the market with Westlake and Co and is available as a whole or in three separate lots.
