From our guide to Pubs & Inns of England & Wales
Mark Hammick has returned, with his wife Emily, to his Dorset roots - in the glorious Piddle Valley. The inn is a gem, with its beamed bar and dining room, old pine tables...
Conkers, hundreds of them, harden to a deep russet brown in the late summer sun by the front door and under the towering chestnut tree, beneath which huddles The Crown...
There's not much that beats settling down by the fire with a pint and a paper in a great pub after a wild and wintery walk. Or how about that first summer spritzer perched on a wall, sun glinting, sea shimmering? There are over 130 pubs and inns here, and you'll find lots that fit the bill for you - whether you like yours with real ale and pickled eggs or chalkboards and leather sofas.
