Place to post little gems .

Sounds great, I'll look into that area as we usually head towards Scotland at Easter.

Lytham and Lytham St Anne's, Lancashire. You can stay overnight in several car parks, one with emptying facilities. And there are The Craft House, Keg n Cask and The Hop Shoppe, plus a few other pubs/bars.

I've started a blog about pubs and campervan trips here

The Infant Hercules
84 Grange Road, Middlesbrough, GB TS1 2LS

A small pub in a converted shop. Four hand pumps with a good variety of beers from small breweries. One lager and one cider on kegs.
Friendly staff and customers. I was there on Saturday before Middlesbrough v Cardiff City. I was the only Cardiff fan in there but was made to feel welcome.
