Pubs
Pubs are an integral
part of the climbing
experience. The Peak
District is blessed with
many fine hostelries
which make great
locations for an après-
climb pint where you can
discuss the highs and
lows of your day.
The list below are
recommendations
contributed by readers
of the forums on
UKClimbing.com
.
Most are marked on the relevant crag map
near the crag they are closest to.
