It was a perfect June summer’s day. The sun was out, the air
was warm, yet there was a cool breeze floating around the village of Ombersley.
Perfect conditions for eleven CAMRA members to visit pubs in the area as part
of the tenth Redditch & Bromsgrove CAMRA RambAle!
We started our walk at the Cross Keys in Ombersley village,
where we wet our whistles in preparation for the furthest stretch of our walk.
On offer was Wye Valley HPA and Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, the latter being the
most popular beer of choice. On starters orders, we headed north-east across
the fields towards Doverdale, passing a large reflective pond popular with
fishermen. After passing through a small wood and battling our way through an
overgrown field, we crossed a number of stiles including a very helpful set of
steps in place. We soon arrived at the Honeybee which was very popular with
diners, which also caused us to rethink our lunchtime plans. However, three
real ales were available here and were on fine form, including Sharp’s Doom
Bar, Old Speckled Hen and Fuller’s London Pride.
