## Summary

Pete Hill has spent 42 years visiting 25,000 pubs across Britain, turning a charity challenge that began with his father’s map of Banks’s pubs into a lifelong pursuit. He estimates he has drunk 60,000 pints and spent £336,000, while raising £36,000 for charity; his account also celebrates pubs that remain distinctive despite widespread closures and changes to pub culture.

Hill shares a selection of his 50 favourite pubs, ranging from community-owned locals and historic Victorian interiors to small micropubs and country inns. He has visited every pub in CAMRA’s guide and kept 300 files of photographs, menus and memorabilia; he is still hoping to visit a rebuilt pub on Fair Isle.
