The Anglers Rest
Taggs Knoll, Main Street, Bamford, Hope Valley, Derbyshire S33 0DY
TEL: 01433 650317
A village pub in the lovely Peak District. The sign at Bamford train station says this pub is half a mile along the main village street. My legs told me it was a mile, and from the station it's all uphill!
It's not often I've seen places that have taken advantage of the legislation that allows pubs to be registered as a community asset. The local people have done that here, they took it over in 2013, and they've not only kept open the pub but also the village post office and the cafe that are in the same building.
Access: disabled toilet and level access through the side door, level access at the front door. A few steps inside between the pub and the cafe/Post Office area.
