Bus Pass Bandit: Part Seventy Six - LONG MARSTON, LOWER QUINTON & STRATFORD

With not a trombone or a big parade in sight, the Bus Pass Bandit presents his 76th piece of pub plundering for your esteemed consideration...

On a cold and sunny January morning the Bandit takes a bus from Stratford to Long Marston for a stop at The Masons Arms.

And an opening half of Wye Valley Pyoneer.

Following the Heart of England Way, the Bandit crosses the Stratford Greenway which was the route of the old Honeybourne railway line.

The next destination is the College Arms at Lower Quinton.

The beer is Wye Valley Butty Bach, next to quite a grand fireplace.

St Swithin's Church at Lower Quinton on a winter's afternoon.

Back in Stratford and time to stop at The Bear at Swans Nest.

A dark half of Winter Solstice from the North Cotswold Brewery.

On to the Prospero Lounge on Bridge Street.

And a closing half of Henry Westons Vintage Cider while admiring the artwork.
