Pub Walk past Ely Cathedral to The Minster Tavern, Ely, Cambridgeshire

This Week's Pub Walk ... past Ely Cathedral to The Minster Tavern, Ely, Cambridgeshire

Ely, the second smallest city in England, is one of my favourite place to visit. The Cathedral is spectacular and if you stop you can take a tour that leads you up and out onto the roof (!) where the view is awesome.

This is a detour worth taking when following my Ely Pub Walk. and it will bring you straight afterwards to the Minster Inn from where you can gaze back to view the cathedral in all its splendour.

Combining historical interest with a riverside path makes this pub walk rather special. Download full details by clicking on Minster Tavern Pub Walk.

Oz and James Drink to Britain - last 2 days on BBC iPlayer

If you missed the final episode of this entertaining series then you have just 2 more days left to catch this on BBC iPlayer. As they conclude their search for the drink "that speaks for modern Britain", the result is unexpected if not, perhaps, surprising.

In case you do not know the answer yet, I won't spoil the surprise! Watch it instead at Oz and James Drink to Britain but be quick. This series toured pubs and breweries, vineyards and cider farms and hopefully you'll agree with me that the Oz and James reached the only right conclusion.

Click on Oz and James Drink to Britain and I hope you enjoy the whole 30 minute episode like I did and are not tempted to spoil the surprise by skipping to the last few minutes ...
