PUBS across the area have been highlighted as the best by real ale enthusiasts.

CAMRA’s - The Campaign for Real Ale - Good Beer Guide has reviewed over 4,500 pubs across the UK and several pubs in the area have made the list.

The Good Beer Guide, which is published annually by CAMRA, helps beer lovers take a barometer of the local beer scene. 

AMRA Chairman Nik Antona said: “The last few years have been an incredibly difficult time for the industry, and we need more support than ever before to keep our nation’s pubs and breweries open and thriving. 

“I’d encourage everyone to use this year’s Guide to visit the very best pubs and breweries across the UK and support them for generations to come.”
