This crawl is possibly the shortest crawl we know of in the whole branch area.
First of all you need to find the branches pub of the year - the excellent Selden Arms. OK now you've got there start at the end of the bar and work your way through six superbly kept ales, usually a dark ale (could be a mild or porter or stout, could even be a French stout), and three other that you never quite know what they are going to be. There are two regular beers (the two pumps on the side of the bar) and these are usually Ringwood 49er and a best bitter (could be Youngs, or a Dark Star offering).
When you have finished the crawl you have two options really. One - start again or two slowly head back to the station via the excellent Swan (GBG listed for many years and serving excellent kept beers) and the Castle (popular for many years but has changed hands a few times in the years since it was bought by Punch).
If you still have room you could try the Grand Victorian while waiting for your train home.
"Whatever you do enjoy it!"
