Unusual Pubs – By Boot Bike and Boat

The author has spent three years seeking out quirky hostelries that offer more than your average local. They’re Britain’s most surprising licensed premises, where the reader’s curiosity will be sated as well as their thirst. Walking and cycling trails to the pubs are included, as are waterways, making this a useful companion for leisure travellers.

Entries include pubs in a castle, abbey, windmill, shed and stable; former cinemas, a jail, a chapel, England’s first car factory and the world’s oldest grand music hall. Others are on boats, in caves and even a disused public toilet. Yet more have collections such as bookmarks, ties or musical instruments. There’s an inn where Oliver Cromwell held court, others that inspired Charles Dickens.

The author has been on Britain’s most bizarre pub crawl and now you can, too. Fully illustrated with more than 150 author’s photos and 17 historical ones.
