Saving the British Pub
Sterling Efforts from the National Trust
The National Trust have produced a list of their favourite pub walks. The pubs they mention are in their care. I know the George Inn and The Red Lion (above) at Trust-maintained Lacock very well; also the Spread Eagle Inn on the Stourhead estate. I would certainly like to become acquainted with others they own.
Belfast Victoriana
The Trust suggest a walk at nearby Minnowburn before settling down under the gas lighting of The Crown Bar's high Victorian interior in glorious Belfast. Read all about the pub's history at Visit Belfast.
Cotswolds Cultural Hub
After a yomp in the wilds of the Cotswolds — possibly calling in at Hidcote for gardening inspiration — they suggest drawing a chair up to the open fireplace at The Fleece Inn, Bretforton. The pub is also a focal point for folk musicians and morris dancers, so you could time your visit according to what's on.
High Hopes
I hope the National Trust continue to take more pubs under their wing. Pubs are as important to the cultural fabric of this nation as churches. The pub and the church will often be the oldest buildings in a village, and the only two places that still draw the community together. I wince when I see a historic-looking pub that has closed down in a small place. It's like pulling the heart out of a village.
I have asked the Trust for a list of all the pubs they maintain for you to tick off on your travels around the country. If it arrives, I will post it below.
