The Boat Inn, Cromford

This is a really good pub for real ales. It currently stocks Whim Hartington and Pedigree, but also has at least two other guest bitters on a constantly changing basis - really good bitters like Absolution, Pale Rider, Hartington IPA, etc etc. The food is quite good too. The live music at weekends (and the occasional weekday)is a plus. The pub's own beer festivals, with typically 20 odd ales straight from the cask are eagerly anticipated. No constant background music. It's dog heaven, pubwise. And finally, The locals add to the atmosphere too.
