Bus Pass Bandit: Part Sixty Four - GREAT ALNE, KINWARTON & ALCESTER

The Bus Pass Bandit may be getting older but isn't necessarily losing his hair, nor is he 64 for that matter. The blog has however reached that certain Beatles-related number courtesy of another slice of Warwickshire wayfaring...

Today the Bandit takes a bus ride from Stratford to Great Alne, for a visit to the Mother Huff Cap.

The beer is Purity Mad Goose. This is also a Nepalese and Indian Restaurant, inspired by the Gurkhas.

Nearby is Kinwarton Dovecote, a rare circular dovecote built in the 14th century with over 500 nesting boxes.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin in the village of Kinwarton.

Onwards to Alcester and a stop at the Royal Oak on the High Street.

A Thatchers Cheddar Valley cider is very welcome.

The girder bridge over the River Arrow once carried the railway line between Bearley and Alcester.

Nearby is the Roebuck.

And a Wye Valley Butty Bach to finish.
