A little exploring.
A proper pub at the end.
One of the truly great features of the British pub tradition, and one that goes hand in glove with its social function, are pub trails and crawls. This may sound surprising, but Leicestershire alone boasts some 600 real-ale pubs, of which 120 also serve real cider.
Small wonder, then, that pub enthusiasts and lovers of the great outdoors alike have started spending many an afternoon working out how to get to them, particularly since a lot are on the countryside and often hard to reach on public transport!
Our bus trails are now collected here, with links to the branch’s trip guides on the national CAMRA website.
Before you set off
Plan the journey, too.
Please bear in mind that, although we take good care in compiling our guides (and have some true public transport gurus in our midst!), bus routes and stops are subject to regular review and, sadly, axing. So it’s a good idea to check with the route operators before embarking on your next trip, for example using Traveline.
You’ll find links to a lot more of Leicester’s and Leicestershire’s travel operators on our Useful Links page.
