The
Ramblers Retreat, Alton
Although
this charming eatery cannot be classed as a pub (despite its licensed
status), it offers delicious meals and a welcome retreat in the middle
of some of Staffordshire's most delightful countryside. The restaurant
is a perfect base for walkers. Located in Dimmingsdale, and a short
walk away from the Churnet Valley Trail adjacent to us, the 'Ramblers
Retreat' offers meals, cream teas, ice cream, and excellent desserts.
One not to miss.
