Review of The Rambler Inn Edale (the best pub for hikers in Edale!)

With fantastically accessible hiking trails, lush green peaks and spectacular valley views, Edale in the Peak District is a truly wonderful place! But the best thing about hiking in the area is the satisfaction of tucking into some well-earned pub grub at the end of your day! Here’s my review of The Rambler Inn Edale – the best pub for hikers in Edale!

Where is The Rambler Inn Edale?

The Rambler Inn is a wonderful stone-built pub, located in the centre of Edale in the Peak District.

It’s steeped in Derbyshire history and full of old country pub charm. Think roaring fires in the winter and a sun trap beer garden in the summer, along with real ale and great traditional pub grub!

Why is it so great for Edale hikers?

Edale has over 400 trails to explore, including Kinder Scout, Mam Tor and Castleton, so there’s a lot of hikers needing rest bite!

The pub’s central location in Edale means that it’s in the ideal place for hikers looking to take a break.

However, regardless of location, the Rambler Inn Edale is just a fantastic pub whether it was at the start or end of many amazing hiking trails!

So the fact that it covers both bases with a convenient location and great experience just makes it an even better place to hang out. Especially if you love hiking and visiting the Peak District!

Can you use the pub parking?

There is parking you can use at The Rambler Inn. If you’d like to use the car park solely to access the hiking routes, there is a £10 deposit.

You will receive this deposit back if you’re planning on returning to the pub for some food and drink after your hike (which I highly recommend!).

If you’d prefer not to drive, Edale Train Station is right next door with trains run every hour a part from Sundays.

Do they overnight for campers?

No, The Rambler Inn doesn’t accept overnight campers but there are plenty of places to camp in the area.

The Fieldhead and Waterside Farm Campsites are less than a 10 minute walk away from the pub.

The pub itself offers nine beautiful en-suite rooms which are great for families, friends, singles and couples alike if you’d prefer not to camp but would like more time to explore the area.

It’s the perfect pit stop for hikers to kick back and relax after a great hike!
