Idle Valley Tap
Idle Valley Tap is one of the Retford stops on the Sheffield to Retford Rail Ale Trail, occupying the former Anchor Inn on Carolgate. The Grade II listed building has a spacious interior and outdoor area, with six changing cask ales currently listed. Brew Shed is also close by, so the two work particularly well together.

About Retford
Retford is a historic Nottinghamshire market town with the Market Square and surrounding streets at the heart of its centre. The railway gives the town both local and main-line connections, while the four featured pubs form a compact final section of the trail once you reach the centre.
