A pub boasting some of the best views of Greater Manchester has reopened its doors after a major refurbishment. The Hare & Hounds, in Hyde, was closed for several weeks for a six-figure makeover which has modernised the entire site.
Just less than 10 miles from Manchester city centre and sitting at the edge of Werneth Low Country Park, the country pub, found just off a narrow country road, occupies a stunning Pennine location, and provides a gateway to the Peak District beyond. On a clear day, the idyllic spot offers panoramic views over five counties.
The beautiful spot, which is part of the Chef and Brewer Collection of country pubs, was originally built in 1728. Many of its original features, including its exposed beams and cosy nooks, have been kept in tact but given a contemporary refresh.
