84 miles, 6 days, 51 pubs…

The latest addition to The Inn Way series, Mark Reid charts a circular route through the heart of the Peak District from the wilds of Kinder Scout to the dramatic gritstone edges, Chatsworth Park, mystical Stanton Moor, Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale, the Plague village of Eyam, Castleton and its caverns, Mam Tor and Edale. This 84 mile walk is divided into six ‘day stages’ and passes 51 pubs along the way. Complete with a foreword by the Duke of Devonshire CBE.

Highlights: Royal Hotel (Hayfield) - good range of beers and great food. Accommodation good too. Little John at Hathersage - good beer (especially Archers Six Hop) and the largest food portions I've ever seen! Hathersage to Baslow - fabulous ridge walks. Grouse Inn - excellent Deuchars IPA. Wheatsheaf (Baslow) - good food and ales. Chatsworth (as runners, we appreciate the soft grass running surface). Farmyard (Youlgrave) - excellent food, friendly staff, good mix of locals and tourists of all ages. Youlgrave to Tideswell - gorgeous valley walks - perfect in slightly inclement weather. Cock & Pullet (Sheldon) - fabulous village pub - delayed our progress with excellent beer and interesting locals. Monsal Head Hotel - sat outside in the sunshine, enjoyed excellent range of beer including Old Peculiar (very busy pub at weekends though - expect to queue and wait for food). Ramblers Arms - stayed overnight in good quality accommodation, excellent food and good beer (with the exception of one pint which was quickly exchanged).
