The Quest for the finest Ale house

I have started this blog to list some of the finest ale houses that there are around the country, some local to me and others not quite so local that who knows one day I may be able to visit. To me the perfect pub is a place with character that has a roaring fire that you could sit in front of whilst drinking a fine pint of real ale and let life pass you by, perhaps somewhere that is out in the country away from the bussle of town life, maybe overlooking a river or a village green with the local cricket team playing.
