The Royal Oak, Bowness on Windermere

One of the last pubs I visited when I first came to Bowness, how I wish it was the first! A real drinkers pub, not a pub trying to be 'gastro'. Although they do offer good quality, good tasting grub and offer accommodation I tried neither of these focusing on the well kept beer.

A new brewery to me, The Coniston Brewing Co. I tried the Blue Bird and found it in excellent form, in fact I have tried nothing else since but if the Jennings Cumberland and the Timmy Taylors are as good I'm missing out!

Friendly locals, friendly and helpful staff too and positioned within 5 mins walk of my digs! Perfect. Keep up the good work Folks!

The Nelson Inn, Selby

Great little boozer. A fantastic 'locals' pub that welcomes visitors. Normally has a couple of hand pulled bitters. Guinness is some if not the best in Selby. Nice beer garden too.

The Cricketers Arms, Selby

Typical Sam Smiths pub with the exceptions in that its clean and tidy and very well kept. Very friendly staff and a great Landlord/Lady.,.
One of the 1st places I choose to drink in Selby.
