The Penny Pot Cafe

Tucked beside Edale station in one of the Peak District's most dramatic valleys, the Penny Pot is where countless great walks begin and end. Boots off, muddy dogs welcome, this is the spot to warm your hands round a mug and put away a bacon roll or a wedge of cake before the moors of Kinder Scout loom overhead. There's a proper conviviality to it — hikers swapping routes, ramblers plotting the day. Simple, honest and perfectly placed, it's part of the ritual of a day out in Edale.

Its setting at the gateway to the Pennine Way makes it a memorable part of a countryside adventure — exactly the kind of place walkers recommend to one another.
