Weekend away on the ale...

[pardoe]

Hoping to book a short trip away somewhere local, preferably in Lancashire or Yorkshire, but anywhere we can get a direct train from Manchester in under an hour's fine. What we're looking for is a quiet village or small town with a few good pubs which sell craft ale or real ale, a couple of nice places to eat, staying in a nice but relatively affordable B&B.

Can anyone recommend anywhere they've visited?

Clitheroe?

Hebden?

All a good call, no idea about trains so it's a tough one, I'd look at where you can get a direct train to and ask if the place is any good I'm sure you'll get some good feedback

Why not carry on a bit further to the lakes?

If you do that foxfield station, stay at the high cross inn up the road, drink in the prince of wales fox field then walk back through town to the high cross ( great micro brewery)

Chesterfield. Just over an hour away and an absolute mecca for real ale. Nice enough place, cheap and not full of knobs. Loads of great proper boozers in the town centre or you could try the Brampton mile pub crawl.
