Snake Pass Inn

This is a bit of a cheat really — I’m majorly reviewing the Snake Pass road (A57 from Sheffield to Glossop) which is one of the most awesome roads to ride a motorbike, or drive a car upon. Beautiful scenery, mixed up with some excellent twisty bits of road. A real challenge, which should be respected — people do have accidents here!
The pub is not far out of Bamford, and is a pleasant enough place to stop for refreshment, or a room. The road runs alongside Derwent Reservoir (where the Dambuster’s practised their bombing runs for the attacks on the German dams during WW2) which is a spectacular area for hiking around or mountain biking responsibily. Come up, you will not regret it.

Lovely little pub on the Snake Pass between Glossop and Sheffield.
The general bar area is quite small but theres also a dinning area if you want to have a meal. The drinks are reasonably priced and they also do lovely hot chocolate, tea and coffee if you’re driving or if you’ve been exploring the hills in the cold and need to warm up. They have open fires too which helps!
The Snake Pass Inn also has has rooms for bed and breakfast. They have singles and doubles, a honeymoon suite which is around £75 per night and a four poster bed room which is £80 per night. They also have function rooms available and advertise for weddings and parties.
There is outdoor space and a good sized car park.
The pub always seems quite popular when driving by and I’ve stopped several times for a quick drink to break up my journey.
