The original doorway is still used as the main entrance today, and the pub is crammed with interesting relics and photographs of the days when salt traders would rest here overnight. Located in the heart of the Peaks along an old salt carrying route, this rustic inn dates back to 1632 and was once two separate cottages, before they were joined and became The Cheshire Cheese. This is the sort of cosy pub you long to stumble across after an invigorating day in the hills.
This is certainly true of the Cheshire Cheese which lies nestled in the village of Hope in the Peak District.
Traditionally, the sign of a Cheshire cheese swinging in front of a pub was used to show it offered a warm welcome, and that a roaring fire, hearty meal and tankard of ale awaited within.
