North and Mid Wales is renowned for its mighty castles - some of the world's finest - constructed during the troubled medieval period. Standing supreme is the quartet of castles at Beaumaris Caernarfon Conwy and Harlech , landmarks in the development of medieval military architecture, their lofty position recognised by their status as World Heritage Sites. The great fortress-palace of Caernarfon , with its soaring walls and imperious towers, is perhaps the most famous of the four. Yet all are equally inspiring. Spectacularly sited Harlech is perched on a crag overlooking sea and mountain. Gritty Conwy , aided and abetted by a ring of amazingly well-preserved town walls, conjures up a convincing medieval atmosphere. And at Beaumaris we have, in pure architectural terms, the most accomplished medieval fortress in Britain. These awesome stone fortresses , built by the English monarch Edward I to stamp his authority on Wales, do not stand alone. The landscape is dotted with castles of all kinds. There are mountain strongholds such as Dolwyddelan and Dolbadarn, homes of the Welsh princes. There are other Edwardian fortresses like

Precious little, say we. To understand the British spirit one must understand British spirits, which is to say Beer. From the rich mixture of civilizations that has flourished in this land has emerged the true essence of English life: the village pub, where ales, bitters, porters, stouts, and other hop-and-barley concoctions abound in such profusion as to daunt even the hardiest tippler. Long the bastion of all that is good and true in British culture, the pub occupies the place today that it has held for many centuries, as the spot where society is daily glued together through the medium of beer. To appreciate Britain's heritage to the fullest one must therefore go afoot, or in the later hours of the day aknee, among the pubs, the true heart of the
