It must be 10 years since I was here, as there were still beers brewed on the premises then. Unless my memory is playing tricks again. Today the five cask beers are two from Ludlow and one each from Clun, Three Tuns and Salopian. I went for a half of Darwin's Origin from the last named (NBSS 3.5, £4.60/pint). I couldn't help thinking that a Three Tuns beer would never have appeared on the bar here when the two breweries were competitors. And I'm not convinced the bar counter is the same as it used to be, but I often think that about pubs I haven't been in for a long time. One of the punishments of old age.

The Six Bells is at the bottom of the town's main drag and has two rooms of equal size around a central bar. It was quite busy for its size, with most tables taken. Everybody seemed to know one another. So, it's clearly a popular local.

The 3 regular real ales are Clun Loophole, Ludlow Gold & Three Tuns XXX. In addition, they also have a guest beer, which was Ludlow Blonde. But of more interest to me were the 2 boxes of Long Mynd Cider on the bar. This made my choice quite easy.

Friendly place and my favourite pub of 4 I tried in the town.

First visit and made to feel like a local. Stripped back country pub feel to the place with bench seating arranged around a log burner. Few high chairs at the bar.

Beers were all whats produced around the back and new to me. My Cloud Nine did not look as good as everyone else's Hero.

I'll try something different next time. And there will be a next time.
