Guidebook for East End
Food Scene
A traditional country pub with consistently good reviews for its food and local ales. The restaurant is smart. The bar is less so and dogs are allowed. Donkeys and ponies often hang out on the lanes around here so drive carefully.
Since 1990, the pub has been owned by Dire Straits bassist John Illsley.

Forestry Commission site, just pay the car parking. Nice little visitor centre. Good cafe. Great tracks for walking and good access for mobility scooter vehicles.
20 mins from the house. The walking from the house is nicer than the walking at Moors Valley but the play grounds in the woods there are unbeatable. So defo take small kids. They’ll love it.
