Red
Lion, Kilsby, Northamptonshire.
A village pub well worth traveling to. Good beer (I
found Black Sheep Bitter here once) and friendly staff,
who presented us with an entire beer mat collection.
This is not the original Kilsby Red Lion, as this building
was put up in 1902.
Coach
& Horses, Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire.
There are plenty of things to do in Bourton-on-the-Water,
or as the local tourist office calls it, ‘Venice
of the Cotswolds’, such as the Model Village and
the Motor Museum, but remember to find time to have
a pint at the Coach & Horses!

Tennants
Arms, Kilnsey, North Yorkshire.
In the shadow of the imposing 170-foot Kilnsey Crag,
the Tennants Arms is a solid-looking building. A great
place to stay for walks in the Dales, with a great whiskey
bar as well as all the beer and food you could ever
want. It was part of the filming of 'Calendar Girls'
in 2003.

Dun
Cow, Dunchurch, Warwickshire.
A fine old building in the busy little village of Dunchurch.
It is an 18th Century coaching inn that had stabling
for forty pairs of horses. Today it offers a fine array
of food, has plenty of dining area and sneaks in the
occasional challenging beer!

Red
Lion, Chenies, Buckinghamshire.
I traveled thousands of miles to try their unique Lions
Pride beer, and I was not disappointed! Lovely little
pub with an ancient fireplace, pictured under ‘More
pictures’. Try the 'Internationally Acclaimed
Famous Original Chenies Lamb Pie'

Red
Lion, Horsell, Surrey
Now a busy town pub, the Red Lion as a building dates
back to 1566 when Edward Raoke applied for a license
to sell produce from the single-story wing at the back.
The first record of a licensee here is from the 1891
census.
Assembly
Inn, Bath, Somerset.
A good honest town pub, catering to mostly students,
but does a good business clientele trade in the evening.
They are not shy about the music - 'There is low music
during the day but with our busy lively evening trade
we turn it up.' The building itself is wonderful, built
in 1773 by John Wood the Younger, the same guy that
put up the nearby Assembly Rooms.
Volunteer
Rifleman's Arms, Bath, Somerset.
This pub opened for business in 1858, when the council
voted to knock a passageway through a block on buildings.
It may only be the second smallest pub in Bath, but
it has the longest name in Somerset. Known to the regulars
as the 'Volly', presumably because after a couple of
beers, 'Volunteer Rifleman's Arms' becomes something
of a challenge. If you want to buy a pub, here is your
chance, but watch out for the dry English understatement:
"There are some items of outstanding dilapidations
which are priced into the asking figure".
Green
Man, Dunchurch, Warwickshire.
Everyone is drawn to the Dun Cow in Dunchurch, but take
a moment for the Green Man. On a Sunday afternoon, it
can be a great gathering place, as I have experienced
several times myself.
Lamb
& Lion, Daventry, Northamptonshire.
This was once a good solid town pub, with regulars who
enjoyed each other's company, and took comfort in companionship.
Now it is Friday's, a night club. No one knows anyone
else. Support your local pub, or this will be the fate
of many more fine establishments. Find this pub also
on our page of abandoned pubs, 'Time
Called'.
