The White Lion, corner of Delph Lane and Denshaw Road, Delph OL3 5HX
01457 920038
This is in a 300 year old building, that was once two separate premises - the rooms are of very different sizes. Delph is a pleasant village in a steep sided hollow in the Pennine foothills. At the far end of the pub (looking at the first of these three pictures) there is the start of a footpath which leads past some angling ponds and alongside a stream to the remains of Castleshaw Roman fort. Worth a walk on a fine day in summer, it's two miles there and two back.
UPDATE 2022: I've been here a few times since I first wrote about it. It hasn't changed but I've added a couple of features I missed the first time.
