Rambling, farther afield from Coventry

The strongest and the best cider I have ever drank was while walking the South West Coast Path, at a village called Worth Matravers. The pub was called "The Square and Compass" They had a selection of 8 or 9 ciders that were served straight from the barrel. My favourite was a pear cider called Perry.

I live not far from the Square and Compass at Worth Matravers. It is just outside Wareham, Dorset. I can confirm that the cider is still good!

Hi Mick, there are not too many places left like the Square and Compass. It has been in the Newman family for generations and been in every edition of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. You would be surprised at the number of Coventrians that live down here. We even have a Dorset Sky Blues supporters group on Facebook which has nearly two hundred members!
