5 of the Best Pubs in the Peak District (within 8 miles of Upper Hurst Farm)

Amy Dillon • May 02, 2023

When the weather gets a bit chilly, there's nothing more comforting than the crackling sound of the log burner as you scan a fabulous pub-grub menu. Likewise, when the weather gets warmer, the first place we crave is a friendly beer garden for a crisp, cold drink.

There are so many wonderful pubs in the Peak District that it's impossible to name them all. This list is comprised of our personal favourite pubs and each of them are less than 8 miles from Upper Hurst Farm.

1. The Royal Oak, Hurdlow

This well known, award-winning pub is renowned for its friendly atmosphere and delicious food. With their staple menu as well as seasonal menus, the Royal Oak has options for everyone. They also have a great selection of wines, beers and spirits to accompany their extensive menu. The Royal Oak is also situated at the start of the Tissington Trail - ideal for cyclists and walkers alike. This is one of my most recommended pubs and personal favourites - a must-visit. The Royal Oak, Hurdlow, SK17 9QJ - 7.7 miles from Upper Hurst Farm.

2. The Manifold Inn, Hulme End

Our very own Manifold Inn. With possibly the best beer garden of all, catch the sunset here in the Summer or enjoy a homemade pie by the fire in the Winter. There's not much we don't love about this old coaching inn. Just a 15-minute walk from Upper Hurst Farm, this friendly pub is favoured by the locals - which is never a bad sign. It gets incredibly busy in the high season so make sure to book ahead! The Manifold Inn, Hulme End, SK17 0EX - 0.8 miles from Upper Hurst Farm.

3. Black Lion Inn, Butterton

Tucked away and lesser-known, the Black Lion serves truly delicious food. Run by a husband and wife team, they have maintained its traditional interior whilst elevating its food far above greasy pub-grub. This is a true gem that only those who know, know. Situated just above the Manifold Trail, it's a fabulous stop-off when heading that way. Black Lion Inn , Butterton, ST13 7SP - 4.3 miles from Upper Hurst Farm.

4. The Devonshire Arms, Hartington

Recently renovated and offering a large selection of food and drink, this pub is situated in the heart of the village of Hartington. With its undeniably beautiful architecture, sitting outside the 'Dev' with a cold drink whilst the sun sets over the village is one of our favourite pasttimes. Roaring fires in the winter and a large beer garden to the rear are also available here. The Devonshire Arms, Hartington, SK17 0AL - 1.8 miles from Upper Hurst Farm.

5. The Greyhound Inn, Warslow

With an on-site micro brewery and a focus on local food, community and inclusivity, this family-run pub is great for everyone. A great selection of beers and a diverse, reasonably priced menu is available. Situated close to the moors, it's a great stopping point after a long moorland walk or is worth the journey for beer-lovers.  The Greyhound Inn, Warslow, SK17 0JN - 2.4 miles from Upper Hurst Farm.
