A trip to The Chilterns "fancy pub name tour"  . Looking a starting off at the "Land of Liberty, Peace and Plenty" at Heronsgate, Herts (just off the M25 near Chorleywood). Then to the "Royal Standard of England" at Forty Green, Bucks. Then to the Whip Inn at Lacey Green, and the nearby Wheel at Naphill, who are holding a joint beer festival that weekend.  Might have time to fit another place in, so again, any suggestions welcomed.  Chiltern Brewery has quite a good shop for "take-outs".
