"Cosy, old inn with smart accommodation"
Overview
Perched some 1,300 feet above sea level and reputedly the highest pub in Derbyshire, the Barrel Inn dates back to 1597 and offers a warm, welcoming base for exploring the surrounding countryside. The bar retains plenty of character, with oak-beamed ceilings and traditional flagstone floors, and hearty, freshly prepared meals are served in the restaurant. On a clear day, the far-reaching views stretch across five counties.

About the area
The natural features of this central English county range from the modest heights of the Peak District National Park, where Kinder Scout stands at 2,088 ft (636 m), to the depths of its remarkable underground caverns, floodlit to reveal exquisite Blue John stone. Walkers and cyclists will enjoy the High Peak Trail which extends from the Derwent Valley to the limestone plateau near Buxton, and for many, the spectacular scenery is what draws them to the area.
