Historic pubs

There is a reassuring warmth and comfort in taking a drink in a historic pub in England. A true sense of the past lives on in the creaking timber frames, roaring fires and traditional ales, as we charge our glasses and revel in England’s fine history of brewing. While the upsurge in chain pubs and theme bars may trouble the purist, England still has an unrivalled number of historic pubs, beautifully maintained and ready, as ever, to serve a delicious pint of beer to a weary traveller. Use our A-Z of historic pubs by English region below to find something tasty near you.
