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.
9. Community focus
Jax said: “We also supply school meals for the primary school in the village, and they come here to eat their dinner with us - in a separate room that is closed off to the general public. We help to save the school a lot of money and it allows us to do our bit for the local community.” Photo: Brian Eyre
10. Christmas
Jax said: “We have a Santa that comes to the pub every Christmas. All the children in our village know him as Santa - he’s fabulous.” Photo: Brian Eyre
11. Haunted pub?
Jax said: “The pub is haunted apparently. I live on the site and have never seen anything, but there’s supposed to be World War Two crash victims that are apparently seen walking around the outside of the pub.” Photo: Brian Eyre
12. Remnants of the pub’s past
Jax said: “We have all of the original deeds framed inside the pub.” Photo: Brian Eyre
