A study by the Daily Mail has revealed that the Derbyshire Dales is the UK’s pub capital. This area of Derbyshire has 152 pubs and bars within its boundaries – or 25 establishments for every 10,000 adult residents – according to official government statistics.
We have compiled a list of some of the best pubs that you need to visit if you’re making plans to visit the country’s pub capital over the coming weeks – are there any other venues that we need to feature?
