3. The Scotsman’s Pack Country Inn, Hathersage
The Scotsman’s Pack is described as a “comfortable village pub with three lounge areas served by a central bar. Robin Hood’s companion Little John is reputedly buried in the nearby churchyard and the pub displays artefacts alluding to the legendary outlaw.” Photo: Google
4. Packhorse Inn, Little Longstone
The Packhorse Inn has functioned as a pub since 1787. This venue, according to CAMRA’s inspectors, is “just a short stroll away from the stunning views of Monsal Head. Fresh local produce is a passion, an ethos extended to the beers, which always include a choice from the nearby Thornbridge Brewery.” Photo: Google
