Nearby Pubs

Guests at Hamps Hall and Barn are perfectly placed to enjoy some of the Peak District’s most inviting country pubs—and two local favourites not to miss are The Red Lion in Waterfall and Ye Olde Crown Inn in Waterhouses. Just a short walk or a few minutes’ drive away, The Red Lion (a 10 minute walk as you turn right out of Hamps) is a charming village pub tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Waterfall. With its rustic interiors, open fires, and friendly atmosphere, it’s everything you’d hope for in a traditional English inn. The menu features a great range of pub classics, all homemade and generous in portion. It’s a popular stop for walkers exploring the Manifold Valley or heading to Thors Cave, and with real ales on tap and a sunny beer garden, it’s just as appealing in summer as it is cosy in winter.

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 Red Lion and Ye Olde Crown Inn are two local gems worth discovering during your stay at Hamps Hall and Barn.
