The Helton Inn had a long garden, that ran down to the main road between Bampton and Askam, in the Eden Valley. It was well-frequented by locals, who could play darts, cribbage etc. It had a huge boost to its trade, from tourists, when Haweswater dried up to reveal the remains of the lost village of Mardale, in the 1980s. It was then run by Ian and Gael Esplin and is now in residential use.
