Welcome to The Riflemans Arms
A distinctive black and white pub situated on the main A6 road in the historic town of Belper, the new curators of the Rifleman’s Arms, have brought this traditional British pub up to date, with a contemporary collection of cask and craft keg beers, world wines and hot and cold bar snacks to boot. Think Darts and dominoes rather than burgers and bok choy.
With it’s eclectic mix of contemporary art and punk memorabilia, the Rifleman’s Arms is a cosy pair of slippers where you can rest your feet after a hectic day, or meet for a catch up with family or friends.
Belper is the only market town located at the heart of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. The Derwent Valley is universally recognised as the Cradle of the Industrial Revolution and holds World Heritage Status. Visitors can make use of the Devonshire’s car park opposite the Rifleman’s Arms.

Great New Belper Pub
Has recently reopened under new management. They’ve done a tasteful refurb. Beers were varied, lots of craft ale options alongside a couple of traditional ales. Good wine menu. Staff are lovely and friendly. Food-wise we only tried the pork pies. Belper already has a lot of great pubs, but another one is always welcome!
