Meanwhile, in the nearby village of Waterhouses, Ye Olde Crown Inn (as you turn left aout of Hamps) offers another fantastic option. This welcoming pub sits at the edge of the Manifold Track and is a favourite with cyclists and walkers alike. Family-run and full of character, the Crown serves well-kept ales, traditional pub fare, and often features live music or themed food nights. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it a great choice for groups and families looking to unwind after a day of exploring.

Both pubs offer that perfect mix of good food, local flavour, and warm hospitality. Whether you’re after a laid-back lunch, a pint by the fire, or a cheerful evening out, the Ye Olde Crown Inn is a local gem worth discovering during your stay at Hamps Hall and Barn.
