Tan Hill Inn, Keld

Highest pub in the whole of Britain (not just England), standing alone in the middle of bleak featureless moorland. A welcome sight after walking 4 miles along the Pennine Way in the rain. Amazing place with a friendly atmosphere, nice roaring fire, good selection of ales from Black Sheep and Theakstons, and excellent food. I'm looking forward to returning here next month when I'm walking the Coast to Coast - it's 4 miles off route but well worth the detour.

The Old Arcade, Cardiff

Decent enough pub by city centre standards. Good range of Brains beers (including the ever rarer cask version of Dark) and friendly atmosphere, one of the last traditional pubs left in the area.

The Star Inn, Talybont on Usk

One of my all-time favourite pubs, always a good selection of real ales and a nice beer garden if it's not raining! Ideal place to end up after a walk in the nearby hills.
