MEET CHEEKO!

 We're still in Bedfordshire and our first stop is the village of Clophill, where there's an interesting church.

There's also a rather good pub, the Stone Jug.

Two or three miles to the east is the village of Campton, where we find the White Hart in Campton.

From Campton it's not far to the small town of Shefford. Here's an old postcard.

Right in the middle is Greene King's White Hart.

Local brewers, Charles Wells, own the Bridge, a pleasant local.

Close by is the brewery of Banks & Taylor.

B&T own a pub in the town, naturally, it's called the Brewery Tap.

We follow the long closed railway to Henlow Camp, still an active (at the moment) RAF airfield. The Blockbuster Video shop here was converted into a micropub, the Old Transporter.

North now to Henlow itself, where the first pub we see is the Crown, very much food led.

The Five Bells in Henlow is pleasant enough, with Greene King beers.

Real ale enthusiasts flock to Henlow for the Engineers Arms, a permanent beer festival.

There's a "steam-up" happening outside.

Let's go inside, to the front bar.

Sadly, the famous pub dog, Cheeko, is no longer with us. A real character.

Soon, it's time to leave, but to where? Find out in the next post.
