A great way to sample some of the Peak District’s best pubs is to catch a train along the Hope Valley line - where you can hop off the train and enjoy a drink in places such as Edale, Hope, Bamford and Hathersage.

They are all well worth a visit

If you’re looking for great pubs to visit across Derbyshire and the Peak District this autumn, then look no further.

From lively town centre venues to traditional Peak District country inns, you will be spoilt for choice.

The Dead Poets Inn is tucked away down a side street in Holbrook, and it is easy to see why this traditional pub has won CAMRA awards in the past. It offers a superb range of beers at very reasonable prices, along with the kind of warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to visit a pub again.

The popularity of this pub speaks for itself - with quiet nights at the Chesterfield Arms seeming a real rarity whenever I have visited or passed the venue. The Chesterfield Arms offers a superb range of beers at reasonable prices, and is even home to its own microbrewery in Resting Devil. The beer garden is perfect for anyone wanting to enjoy a drink while making the most of the warm summer weather. I’m yet to sample the food offering here, but the rave reviews I’ve heard up to now mean that this is something I’ll tick off my list very soon - and I can certainly recommend a visit to this pub for anyone in Chesterfield.

The Glassworks is also run by Brampton Brewery - making it perfect for anyone wanting to sample a range of great local beers. The pub is very much a traditional venue, and is ideally located for anyone who might want to stop for a drink or two before heading to watch Chesterfield FC.
