The John Bull Inn, Alnwick

Lovely pub. Friendly barman and nice atmosphere. My only disappointment was that they only had one local ale on - the others were from Scotland and Essex. If I'm around Alnwick again, I'll make sure I go back.

The Albion Vaults, Conwy

This was a very welcome stop after a walk round the town walls on possibly the first warm day this year. Very friendly bar staff and customers and fantastic selection of local beers - I enjoyed all the ones I tried, but didn't have the full selection because I needed to get the bus back to Llandudno. A definite must for anyone visiting Conwy who likes real ale.

The Cottage Loaf, Llandudno

Much cosier than the Palladium next door, and with friendlier and more efficient bar-staff (even though the pub was very crowded). Good selection of well-kept beer from North Wales and Cheshire. Would happily go back again.
