Lovely country pub with a large garden & plenty of outdoor seating for warm summer days. Great place to stop for a pint and a bite to eat if traversing the Brampton Valley Way.

The area is great, lots of paths and variety, but the route given sticks to busy roads where you have to keep your dog on a lead. It also directs you down a private drive with no public right of way. Come to the area and follow your nose, not this route.
