The Bridge Inn, Santon Bridge Early morning on a thoroughly dismal day (although it was to brighten up later), but the lights of the Bridge Inn, an old coaching stop, make it look welcoming. Inside guests will be tucking in to a full 'Cumbrian breakfast'. This is the venue for the annual World's Biggest Liar competition, as a plaque on the wall tells us.

Home of the World's Biggest Liar Competition This plaque is fixed to the Bridge Inn, venue for one of the more obscure world sporting events. Held in November each year, it commemorates a local 19th century publican, Will Ritson who was known for his tall tales. Contestants have to stand up in front of the often well-oiled audience and tell their stories - the best of whom is judged the winner.
