Dog-friendly pubs in Ticknall

Country pub on Ticknall's main street, a mile from the Calke Abbey gates and stocked with maps for walks from the door. There is a dedicated dog-friendly area seating up to ten, and one ground-floor bedroom with a private entrance near the car park takes a well-behaved dog. That combination - a pub that will feed you and put the dog up - is rare in South Derbyshire.

Village pub at the Melbourne end of Ticknall, the closest bar to Calke Abbey's entrance. Dogs are welcome in the bar and the courtyard area, which the pub states plainly, though not in the restaurant side. A sensible finish to a morning in Calke's parkland.
