In a quiet countryside valley sits an historic pub with a huge free outdoor play park for children and a wealth of outdoor seating next to a tranquil river. The Little Mill Inn in Rowarth, Derbyshire, has become a hotspot on sunny days for families thanks to its secluded location in a valley and wealth of things to do outdoors.
The pub is also well-known for its homemade menu of pub classics, and for two years has won the TripAdvisor 'Best of the Best' travellers' choice award for ranking in the top 1 per cent of reviews worldwide. Reviewers on the website hail it as a "hidden gem" and "warm and welcoming to those with dogs and muddy boots".
The Grade-II listed building dates back to 1781 and sits next to the Rowarth Brook with a huge water wheel (that until recently was still operational) right next to it. It is based in the tiny High Peak village which is close to New Mills, and around a 20 minute drive from Stockport.
