If you find yourself in the Peak District this autumn, The Old Nags Head at Edale is among the area’s most historic country pubs.
The Derbyshire Times was invited to visit The Old Nags Head to learn more about the pub’s past and the team’s focus on community spirit – and these photos show what to expect if you’re making plans to visit.
5. Traditional pub food
Jax said: “We do traditional pub food, and we make the vast majority of everything we sell here. Our homemade pies are very popular.” Photo: Brian Eyre
6. Wide range of drinks
Jax said: “We have tons of lagers, ciders, we have eight lines for cask ales - and we also have a beer festival every April. We started it originally to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the official mapping of the Pennine Way. Our pub sits at the start of the Pennine Way, which begins in Edale and runs to the Scottish Borders.” Photo: Brian Eyre
7. “Heart of the village”
Jax said: “It’s a great destination for walkers and hikers coming into Edale. There’s a massive amount of walks that you can start from our doors - you can go in any direction and have an absolutely epic walk. The pub is the heart of the village.” Photo: Brian Eyre
8. Connections
Jax said: “We raise lots of funds for the Edale Mountain Rescue Team. We’re a first aid point for them, and it’s where the original Edale MRT started - we have a registered blue plaque outside on our wall now.” Photo: Brian Eyre
