Ah, mead. I remember my grandma giving me that as a ten year-old. Must try some more.
One thing that's just occurred to me; I know you'll potentially be down in Dorset June time but in July Tolpuddle has a Tolpuddle martyrs' festival.
He could visit the origional and the site of its replacement. 100 yards further West, first one is in the wrong place.I live in Greenwich, so a lot here obviously with two UNESCO world heritage sites and obviously the prime meridian of the world, so keeping with the theme of time, a visit to the Daylight Inn in nearby Petts Wood (Kent), a 1930's Tudorbethan Grade II listed pub named after the local bloke than gave the world Summer Time (There has to be a British weather joke in there somewhere), to be fair, the pub is nothing special, but maybe that is a story in itself.

I would second the Faversham Beer Festival in Kent, I also accidentally chanced upon it a couple of years ago, and in keeping with Kent and Beer I have a couple of suggestions.
The Isle of Thanet micro-pub trail, 10 pubs in 20 miles, what could possibly go wrong ?

For the seriously weird and whacky pub, I'll nominate the Rising Sun near Kemsing (Kent), I can not image the pub is run on a commercial basis, but that is a conversation you can hold with the parrot

Down here in Wiltshire you have quite a few ancient monuments, Silbury hill, Avebury stone circle, West Kennet Long Barrow and down near Salisbury there is Stone Henge. Beer wise there is Wadworths of Devizes 6X I am not a beer drinker so I wouldn't know.

Oh, and mr primrose, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find britain's cheapest pint. And report back.
