Alma Inn
Cotton Stones Nr Millbank, Sowerby Bridge, Halifax, West Yorkshire, England
About Alma Inn
The postal address hints at the fact that this beautiful old stone building is set high up in the hills above Sowerby. The Alma stands alone at a small road junction, where a nearby old style K6 Red Phone Box stands guard over the Pub. A lovely darkened stone façade fits well into the stunning countryside in this area of Yorkshire. Inside, the bar is in front of you as you enter. Sympathetically opened out to allow better access, it still retains that Country Pub feel. Stone flagged floors & a real fire complete the scene. Outside, the Alma has a stunning view of the Calder Dale valley. As such, the stone flagged terrace is a popular place to watch the sun go down in the summer with a pint of real ale in hand. The Pub can get very busy outside at popular times - especially on warm Summer nights.
