The Navigation Inn at Wilmorton was built around 1798 at the side of the newly built Derby Canal. It is a brick built double fronted building which stands back from the main road. The front room is the bar which is newly decorated and retains some of the original features. The larger rear lounge has ample seating and also a pool table. The lounge opens out onto a covered outside area which gives way to a large garden. Note the old metal pub sign to the country side of the building.
One rear ale pump in each bar but none currently sold [Jan 2024]. Reopened after a changed of owner on 11th August 2023. Now a sister pub to the Peartree Inn in Normanton.
It can be busy on match days as it is only a short walk to the football ground.
