THE CHESHIRE & WIRRAL
EXPLORER
Details may be subject to change
We shall be staying in the grand city of
Chester at on e of its
oldest and finest hotels of the “railway era”, The Queen, which is
located right opposite the rail station. It is a very comfortable place
with local real ale and is a good base for our activities. On this tour
we are pleased to be able to include not one but two very interesting
transport visits, namely the Anderton boat lift
and the Birkenhead the transport museum plus a ride on its tracks to the
ferry. Of course there will be brewery visits (Brimstage, Peerless, Oaks and Chapter;
plus the taps of Pied Bull and Red Willow
breweries. Added to that are some fine Good Beer Guide pubs and free time
in Chester.
After feedback and recent initiatives in
recent programmes this tour has more time in nice pubs, as well as some
usual brewery visits with ample time to properly “do things” in our base
city.

 A
trip to the western section of the South Downs National Park to visit
several classic country pubs (including one on CAMRA’s National Inventory
of historic pub interiors) and the Langham Brewery with
its new brewery tap. This visit,
starting from Petersfield, has very limited places as we are using a
sixteen-seat luxury coach as the pubs are too small to accommodate a
larger group.
UPDATE:
This tour has been so popular that we are intending to repeat
it. If you are interested, please
contact us on crookhamtravel@gmail.com. The provisional date is Saturday 12th
March (TBC).
