located in LITTLE LONGSTONE this is an absolute local favourite. Fantastic beer and really special food featuring fresh local produce imaginatively cooked. Very cosy, always busy, always welcoming. Just how a pub should be. It's about a 2hr hike and you need good map reading skills if you go over the moors onto Longstone edge but you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views from the top.

At the head of MONSAL Dale this is great for a summer meal. The food is nice and the garden has wonderful views down the dale. Probably a couple of hours to walk but mostly on small roads. Probably better as a bike ride.

There is a restaurant and cafes; a farm park with a great children's play area; a garden centre, and miles of beautiful parkland with the river Derwent flowing through, and deer wandering about

Take the train from Grindleford to Edale (or drive but not such fun and parking can be tricky). There are 2 nice pubs and a couple of cafes too. From there you can follow well trodden paths up Kinder scout to the highest point in the Peak District. The paths are steep, and very busy during holiday times.
