The George at Alstonefield

The George is an unspoilt, historic, family run pub in the Peak District village of Alstonefield, above Dovedale. 

The pub is small, with a bar, snug to the side of the bar and dining room.  The bar is and always will be the same with portraits of locals, historic artefacts and a homely fire.  The dining room and snug have been restored to their original simplicity with lime plastered walls and farmhouse furniture.  Candlelight and fresh flowers add a touch of elegance.

The pub is the perfect base to explore some of Staffordshire's and Derbyshire's breathtaking countryside, with a selection of walks from a gentle evening stroll to a marathon challenge.  We also host fly fishermen fishing on the Rivers Dove and Manifold in the footsteps of Isaak Walton and Charles Cotton.

We do not have any accommodation but you can follow this link to recommended local accommodation. 

We are close to local towns and historic houses.  Ashbourne is seven miles to the South and the historic spa town of Buxton is ten miles to the North. Tissington Hall, as well as Chatsworth and Haddon Hall are a short distance away.

We hope that you can join us soon to enjoy our well kept real ales, carefully selected wine list and real pub food.
