Cracking little pub!
Blue Bell is fine Edwardian pub but poor ales. It was cramped when I went to Blue Bell and landlord was very grumpy!
The other York brewery pubs are Last Drop and Three Legged Mare. There's also the Brewery which does tours.
The Blue Bell does get busy but there are more rooms down the corridor or space in the drinking corridor itself. The beers are a fairly mainstream bunch but I've never had a bad 'un in there, the ladies behind the bar are very pleasant and polite, I've never knowingly met the landlord. Some landlords make grumpiness an artform.

Salisbury is a fine drinking city and quite pretty, don't miss Deacons, the Village and the Wyndham Arms (home of Hopback brewery), plus any number of other good pubs including the famous mumified hand in the Haunch of Venison (expensive beer though).
York is special, any of the three York Brewery pubs, the Blue Bell, The Maltings, Pivo (if you like Belgian/German beer), and probably The Rook and Gaskill are the stars, but the list is a long one; now you've got me thinking I might go there next weekend
.
If your at Blists Hill , go down the hill into Coalport and there are two pubs The Shakespeare (a GBG regular) and the Brewery (which has strange opening times , due to mating glowworms ) are both worth a visit , you can reach the Boat by footbridge or go a bit further and cross the ricketty bridge to the Woodbridge which is an old inn with a lovelly setting

Don't know which mock tudor pub it could have been - there are a few in York and some genuine ones.
I am not sure if you have been to Robin Hood Bay but I had a pint in this pub.. http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/29824/
NOTE: Not recommended for wheelchair users and weak heart.. Very steep hill!!
Also went to Whitby, Scarborough and few Yorkshire towns. Yorkshire is haven for real ale drinkers. I always enjoyed go to Yorkshire.

Yes , but not for years , its a bit like Shrewsbury lots of old buildings and the castle is one of the best anywhere . Its well worth a visit pub wise , the Church and the Globe being the pick in town , the Feathers is beautifull outside rubbish in , the Bull used to be good as well . The Charlton Arms on Ludford Bridge (which you should know all about in your proffesion) is good as well .
I tend to bypass Ludlow and head up the Clun Valley loads of cracking little pubs and glourious scenery .
