English country Pubs in lake district are more of a way of life to the people than just places of recreation or eating and drinking. They have been there for hundreds of years and many of the old ones have been preserved so well that they still stand high with beautiful wooden interiors, beams and columns, fire places and lovely table spreads in the exterior as well as the interiors. It is said that these pubs are places where people at the end of a hardworking and stressful day come to chit chat with friends over drinks and food and are known to be a symbol of brotherhood as well as community spirit.
