Campsite review favourites, Pitchup. com (http://www. pitchup. com), have teamed up with The Good Pub Guide (http://www. thegoodpubguide. co. uk/) to provide expert reviews alongside campsite listings on the Pitchup. com website, meaning you can now find the best watering hole alongside your ideal campsite through the Pitchup. com search tool.
The British countryside is full of fantastic campsites with beautiful scenery and that all important healthy dose of fresh air, but as the day draws to a close and the tent is pitched, nothing beats a gentle stroll to a nearby country pub to sample the local brew.
This partnership still means users can search for their ideal camping or caravan site but with an additional feature that shows any pubs listed in The Good Pub Guide that are nearby as well as giving details of walking distance and a rating from the trusted guide.
Pubs need to be recommended by a range of Guide readers to become listed in The Good Pub guide and visited by one or more of the editorial team. Pubs can also be awarded any of the five award icons for excellence in that area. Awards range from the Food Award, Beer Award, Wine Award, Bargain Award and the Stay Award which details great places to get your head down for the night, however with your tent nicely pitched, this shouldn’t be necessary!
For those seeking a pitch, a pint and even a putt in York, Pitch Up recommends the York Touring Caravan Site (http://www. pitchup. com/campsites/England/North_East/North_Yorkshire/York/york-touring-caravan-site/) and nearby Blackwell Ox pub (http://www. thegoodpubguide. co. uk/pub/view/Blackwell-Ox-YO61-1DT).
