Sheffield has some absolutely breathtaking countryside and cracking rural pubs on its doorstep and a large chunk of the Peak District falls into the Sheffield & District CAMRA branch area.
Over the spring and summer we’ve run a series of pub guides in Beer Matters showing you how to get there by bus or train, however by popular demand here’s a repeat of the network map for our part of the Peak District showing all the pubs that serve cask ale. Breweries on our patch include Intrepid Brewery in Brough and Eyam Brewery in Great Hucklow (note their tap room is in Tideswell).
