The Old Oak Inn, Horsley Woodhouse

An outstanding pub for several reasons. Architecturally interesting, with several semi-distinct seating areas; a good atmosphere, augmented by the live music provided by a quartet (later a sextet) of players of pipes, guitars and violins; more beers than you could sample in an evening and still find your way back home. All unusual, all in excellent condition. The barman (owner/manager?) left it to one of the regulars to provide a warm welcome but he did bring two of our drinks over later on. A little gem and one that could easily be tacked onto a visit to any of the pubs in Belper and surrounds.
