The Castle....Bolsterstone
Pub walk no 5...The village of Bolsterstone sits high [980ft] on a ridge separating Stocksbridge and the Ewden valley. Starting from the pub we were soon treated to great views along the valley taking in the More hall and Broomhead reservoirs with the high moorland beyond. However the walk took a turn for the worst as the route followed a road down to the valley, I try to avoid tarmac when out walking but after a few miles of it I had had enough.. Still we pressed on and arrived back at the village after a couple of hours, it was so hot I decided a nice cold Lager was needed....stepping into the pub was like stepping back in time, no frills with a 1970s feel to it. This was my sort of pub, made me wish I lived in a small village with a pub like this.
