The Windmill Hotel Parbold

Today we went to the Windmill Hotel in Parbold for lunch. Sadly I was without the official beer taster so no beer reviews today. But I can say that the food was very good and reasonably priced too. My gammon was lovely, but the burgers looked pretty good too. Its just a shame we had to eat it in the back yard (our fault for bringing a spaniel with us). From what I saw of the inside it is lovely and I hope to go back soon and try some of the beers they had on tap.

Bits and Pieces

After this mornings walk, this afternoons drive was a bit easier. We went to Parbold first to get a photograph of the newly refurbished Windmill pub, I didnt have time to go inside, but will be back.



Next we headed to the former Walton Summit Branch to take a photo of the bridge next to the Duke of York pub. There is a photo of this bridge with the pub in the background, and a boat on the canal.



The canal is now grass, the pub was open but still has an advert for its lease. Again I resisted going inside, and headed off to another pub, the Lord Nelson. The pub has a canal mile post by the front door from the Walton Summit Branch, showing just one mile from the terminus.



I had planned to stop off at the boatyard in Tarleton but the sun was going down so we headed home.
