Ye Olde Gate Inn is situated in the
heart of the village of
Brassington. It is 3 miles North of
Carsington Water and close to the
market towns of
Wirksworth and
Ashbourne, on the edge of the
Beautiful
Peak District.
Ye Olde Gate has been named Britain’s
cosiest pub by The Times. Roger Protz,
the editor of The Good Beer Guide was
asked to recommend pubs with all the
cosy features you need to keep freezing
temperatures at bay - roaring fires,
good company, and a fine pint - and came
up with Ye Olde Gate Inn Brassington. He
wrote -
"Ye Olde Gate Inn, Brassington,
Derbyshire Simply the perfect winter
pub: you won’t find a cosier place in
the country. It’s nearly 400 years old,
and you can feel the history – Bonnie
Prince Charlie’s soldiers were billeted
here on their march to London, and some
of the oak beams came from ships of the
Spanish Armada. It pulls off the rare
trick of being a genuine local, packed
with villagers, but thoroughly warm and
welcoming to visitors, too."
When you step over the threshold, there
is a feeling of stepping back in time.
The traditional, historic feel has been
retained while also providing a
comfortable, friendly atmosphere in
which to enjoy some fine food and drink.
In Winter, the whole area is kept snug
and cosy with open fires.
A frequent watering hole
for walkers -
