Nestled at a high altitude, it is reputedly the highest pub in Derbyshire and offers some of the most stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

This renowned park offers miles of walking, cycling, and horse-riding trails, with varying degrees of difficulty, all with spectacular views.
