Literary Pubs & Inns


"Morse never took his fair share of holidays, so he told himself. So he was telling Chief Superintendent Strange that morning in early June. Remember you've got to take into consideration the time you regularly spend in pubs Morse!"
(The Way Through The Woods: Colin Dexter - 1992)


Since launching this Literary Pub website a number of the featured pubs have closed. Wherever I have discovered this I have noted it in the text. I would be grateful to know of any listed pub which no longer operates. I would also like to know if I have missed a significant Literary Pub which deserves to be included.
The definition of county will always be somewhat arbitrary. Forgive me if some of places I list are no longer where they were or have moved to a place that didn't formerly exist.
