Best pub by far is the Knockerdown overlooking Carsington Reservoir , you can camp there too if you fancy it

Daughter AJ is in Sheffield uni therefore the school of thought is to stay fairly near (ish) the area for a couple of days, therefore just looking for somewhere with a few nice pubs, maybe some shops for the other half and a bit of nice scenery to take the fox terrier for a walk
