Carsington Water

I'm off to camp at Carsington Water at the weekend. Maybe do some windsurfing if the wind decides to materialise! Can anyone recommend any good local pubs within walking distance (or failing that a short drive) near to the carsington fields camp site?

The Barley Mow at Kirk Ireton is a must. Only about 2 miles away (I think)

Cheers! I shall give a try.

The Miner's Arms at Brassington does good food / beer as well - and that is also about 2 miles away.

 

(well the food was good about 10 years ago!)

Was there yesterday-The Knockerdown-yes I know its a crap name and should revert to its old name The Red Lion-is near the main entrance and is a nice pub.

It has been called the Knockerdown for about 25 years!

Do you know the Knockerdown actualy has a camp site attached so you can go to the pub then just tumble into your tent?

Has anyone been to Carsington Water recently? Any good bird sightings?

Don't know about the birds but it's a lovely place. Carsington fields is a lovely camp site.
