Following a rendezvous in Warwick, the Bus Pass Bandit and his trusty assistant take the no. 15 Stagecoach bus towards Stratford-upon-Avon, alighting at the Stratford Youth Hostel.
Alveston is an attractive village with the Church of St James ...
... and the Old Church of St James too.
Unfortunately the Ferry pub is closed (hopefully only temporarily) but a refreshing cider outside the Youth Hostel will do nicely.
Taking the bus back to Wellesbourne allows chance to revisit the Stags Head and the Kings Head. A pleasant walk through the old village leads to the Church of St Peter.
Continuing on the bus back to Warwick, the next stop is the Unicorn serving the sprawling Chase Meadow estate.
This is a Marston's pub offering Wainwright Gold.
A few doors away is the Ale Hub, one of a growing chain.
A high table perch for some nice Amarillo Gold (Wadworth Brewery).
A walk over Warwick Racecourse results in an unexpected stop at Warwick Golf Centre.
The clubhouse is open to the public, allowing time for some Theakstons Best Bitter.
The final stop of the day is The Railway in Warwick, very convenient for the Station.
A chance to catch up with the action at the Paris Olympics over a final half of Timothy Taylor Golden Best.
