Kirsty cooks great food, serving every lunchtime and evening till 8 or 8.30. The pub is a lively local with Robinson ales, and often has things going on, but she keeps the dining room clear for diners.

This pub in Birchover is worth visiting for the beer. Brewed on the premises, they offer a great range of ale from an Italian style lager to a dark stout.
Food also available, makes a great stop on a walk of Birchover Moor to see the Nine Ladies stone circle.

There are lots of dales and I mention Dovedale because it is famous - which also makes it very popular with tourists. You can access at Ilam in the South but I recommend Milldale at the quieter north end, also nearest us. We're happy recommend other dales, especially if you want to get away from crowds.

Its a two-mile walk over fields or a pleasant drive or cycle to reach Tissington village with the old hall and pretty estate village.

This has medieval origins and is one of my favourites. More modest than Chatsworth but really beautiful and interesting - the kitchens are amazing. Lovely gardens.

Like Stonehenge but sadly all the stones have fallen down. A really interesting site, though there are plenty others including the Nine Ladies circle near Birchover and Mininglow burial site just off the High Peak Trail, just two miles from us and a lovely walk or cycle.
