After exploring the new Nuclear Submarine in Barrow-in-Furness, I ventured to Ulverston, known for its Laurel & Hardy connection. My first stop was The Mill, a historic pub with Grade II listing and a selection of eight cask ales, including “Apprentice” from Wibblers Brewery. I then visited Gather Beerhouse, a cosy craft ale venue offering friendly service and unique pizzas, where I sampled a flavourful sour beer. My final Ulverston visit was the Devonshire Arms, an old pub featuring local cask ales. Concluding the day in Blackpool, I checked out Railside Brewhouse.
