A very happily situated pub near to the lime kilns.

Inside it has an open log fire (always a plus!).

We didn't try the food but when we finally got near to the bar (it is very popular and maybe a little understaffed?) next to the ales were samples of each.

Outside are plenty of benches you can rest on and watch the steam trains pass by or just to take in the tranquil surroundings of the Churnet Valley and the Caldon Canal.

Hiking

I can now add that the toilets are just awful. Slightly better than answering the call of nature behind a bush (only because the door has a lock and there is toilet tissue).
Sadly this is the worst public toilet I have had the cause to visit for some time.
