- Distinctive & Unusual PubsThese are pubs with quirky architecture or interiors, pubs with collections of odd objects and pubs that are just eccentric. Also pubs that are hard to find or in remote locations.
- Community-Owned Pubs
- Heritage PubsThese pubs have interiors that have remained little changed since they were built. Some are basic rural pubs with flagstone floors and settles. Some are elaborate and lavishly decorated Victorian pubs with rich tiling and glasswork. Others have stylish art deco bar counters and furniture. All are listed in Camra’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

- Featured Towns & RegionsThis is a selection of rural or urban areas in the UK which boast great scenery or architecture or simply a great range of good pubs. The selection changes from time to time.
- CotswoldsThe Cotswolds are known for picturesque villages of golden stone cottages. The medieval wealth of the region came from sheep and allowed the early use of local limestone to develop a distinctive building style. There are many pubs in this style in an area that includes parts of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire.
- Peak DistrictThe wonderfully scenic Peak District National Park is divided into two regions. In the White Peak to the south the pubs are of limestone in picturesque villages while in the Dark Peak to the north the pubs are gritstone in small hamlets or isolated on moorland. The park is mostly in Derbyshire, but extends into Staffordshire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and South and West Yorkshire.
- Yorkshire DalesThe Yorkshire Dales is a scenic upland area covering the northwest of the county and a small part of Cumbria. Most older pubs are built from the pale grey mountain limestone typical of the area. Remoter pubs are often whitewashed, unlike the local farms and cottages. Like the Lake District and Snowdonia many pubs were built by the Victorians for the emerging tourist industry.
- Lake DistrictThe Lake District is a region and national park in Cumbria in northwest England. It’s famous for its mountains and fells (hills) and glacial lakes. Most older pubs are built from local slate and almost always whitewashed. They are found in both village centres and on isolated moorland. By contrast pubs built to serve Victorian tourists are often in a Gothic style that seems at odds with the local genre.
