Star Inn, Sulgrave, Northamptonshire.
An old, old pub in the village that boasts the family home of George Washington, and a visit here should involve dropping in on both this characterful pub and the Washington spread, which is open to the public.

Knatchbull Arms, Stoke St. Michael, Somerset.
A question burned in our minds: What exactly is a Knatchbull? Well, it is the family name of the local landed gentry. The pub itself was the site of a WWII meeting of more Generals than any other meeting outside the United States. It is a beautiful pub, steeped in history. Remember to try the cider!

George, Bathampton, Somerset.
A beautiful pub in a perfect location, on the banks of the picturesque Kennet & Avon Canal. Find your way through the rambling old George Inn, then sit outside and watch narrowboats plying up and down the canal.

Kings Arms, Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire.
A perfect-looking pub, clearly an old coaching stop, and now catering quite happily to tourists and locals alike in the antique Mecca of Stow. A Wold, by the way, is an old English word for a small hill. Try the beer (but avoid the cider).

Star Inn, Geddington, Northamptonshire.
So much to see in such a small village. A fascinating church, a rare Eleanor Cross, and a beautiful ancient packhorse bridge. The pub is great too!

---

Alford Barn, Alford Crossways, Surrey.
A very curious pub, lots of little rooms and ancient timbers, with lots of garden space out front. Local beers on offer.

---

Rat & Parrot, Woking, Surrey.
Huge, cavernous, new building catering to an urban crowd, but it is certainly an experience for veteran pub-goers. Part of a national chain, they offer consistency and relatively loud music. The bar can be three-deep for the entire evening, so clearly they have found an audience.

Kings Arms, Marazion, Cornwall.
We could not help but wonder: Here is a beautiful old pub, in a gorgeous Cornish village, close to the spectacular St. Michael's Mount, and it was so quiet in here. A relaxing pint or two and a walk through the village is one of the finer things in life! A lovely little pub.

Ale House, Bath, Somerset.
For a town pub in a tourist town, this pub is refreshingly free of tourists and indeed has a very strong local flavor. Within easy walking distance of the main sights of the historic City of Bath.

Countryman, Staverton, Northamptonshire.
A great-looking pub with all the promise of all the qualities we find in these rustic country pubs. We hope for great service, we hope for local ale that tastes wonderful. We hope we find it occasionally.
