The Packhorse Inn has been a welcome stop for the refreshment of weary travellers since 1787. Formerly two miners' cottages, the pub sits on an old Packhorse route that runs from Chesterfield through Baslow and Hassop to Little Longstone and Great Longstone before climbing up towards the Monsal Head to join an ancient Roman Portway.
The pub sits off what is known today as the Monsal Trail, a disused railway line joining Bakewell to Monsal Head that is a popular route for family walks, runners, and cyclists. To the other side of the pub is another public footpath that runs up Longstone Edge and on to Wardlow.
