If you’re looking for great pubs to visit across Derbyshire and the Peak District this autumn, then look no further.
I live in Derbyshire and these are the best pubs that I’ve discovered over the years – from lively town centre venues to traditional Peak District country inns.
The full list of my recommendations can be found below – will you be visiting any of these places over the coming weeks?

13. The Rambler Inn, Edale
The Rambler is another great pub to visit after a walk through the Peak District. The pub is located next to Edale Station, making it very popular with hikers - and it isn’t hard to see why. There is plenty of space to enjoy a pint outside in the sun and take in the spectacular views of the surroundings hills, and the pub offers a wide range of food and drinks. If you’re looking for somewhere scenic to visit for a drink, look no further than The Rambler. Photo: Brian Eyre

15. The Thorn Tree Inn, Jackson Road, Matlock
The Thorn Tree Inn could well be, in my opinion, one of the county’s best hidden gems. I only discovered the pub myself fairly recently, but was blown away by the venue’s beer garden - which offers spectacular views of Riber Castle and the surrounding hills. If you find yourself in Matlock, I can wholeheartedly recommend that you take the time to visit the Thorn Tree for a pint. Photo: Google

16. The Peacock at Barlow, Hackney Lane, Barlow
The Peacock at Barlow is a quintessential country pub, ideally located just a couple of miles outside of Chesterfield. If you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy a drink and a delicious meal in the most scenic of surroundings, then The Peacock at Barlow is a must-visit pub this summer. Photo: Google
