Have modified my new interactive mapping facility to allow you to search for the nearest pubs to a chosen location in a user specified search radius. You can then tweak the search by varying the number of pubs returned and indeed by moving the location marker manually. As you do this the list of closest pubs will alter along with the distance to each. By clicking on a chosen pint glass on the map which represents individual pubs, a small info window will open. This contains some basic information about the pub. It allows you to then either close the info window, zoom further into the map, zoom out to the original search results, or open a new window that contains the full review of that pub. I hope you find this new facility useful. You can also view aerial photos too to check how accurately I've geolocated each pub!

Hopefully this new mapping facility will make it much more easy to see where the nearest pubs are to a chosen location, particularly as this guide grows further. Click here to give it a try....

Have just removed a couple of pubs that no longer meet the criteria for entry in this guide. They were in North Yorkshire. I was fortunate enough to be in York though recently and will be replacing these with 3 excellent city pubs. You really are spoilt for choice for excellent pubs in York.
