Black Lion Pub, Consall Forge
Highlight • Pub
Inside it has an open log fire (always a plus!).
We didn't try the food but when we finally got near to the bar (it is very popular and maybe a little understaffed?) next to the ales were samples of each.
Outside are plenty of benches you can rest on and watch the steam trains pass by or just to take in the tranquil surroundings of the Churnet Valley and the Caldon Canal.
