Anniversary Pub Walk to the Beaulieu Road Inn, Brockenhurst, New Forest, Hampshire
One year on from the launch of MyFavouritePubWalks.com, we are planning our next walk in the New Forest and I thought it would be good to revisit the pub walk that was the inspiration for the website.
This is an easy circular walk through the beautiful New Forest, across some of its famous lawns, through mixed woodland with some great views across forest and moorland. Away from the Inn you may often see no other walkers on this route.
There is free parking opposite the popular Beaulieu Road Inn and Hotel which offers a good range of food and real ales.
For full details and directions go to Beaulieu Road Inn Pub Walk.

This Week - A Pub Walk to the Walker-Friendly Duke of Cambridge near Tilford, Surrey
This Week - A pub walk to the walker-friendly Duke of Cambridge near Tilford, Surrey
A slightly longer circular walk passing Stockbridge Pond and enjoying a mix of woodland and open heathland. The pub is on the edge of the pretty village of Tilford and a "Lucky Dip" entry in The Good Pub Guide 2008.
The Duke of Cambridge is a modern, bistro-style, immaculately presented family pub. It offers a very warm welcome to walkers (we were told there was no need to take our boots off) and a beer garden.
When we visited in January 2008, it was serving the deliciously rich-tasting and potent winter ale “Rosey Nosey” from Batemans. We enjoyed the broccoli and stilton soup with crusty bread (£4.50), a ciabatta with char-grilled courgettes, sun-blushed tomatoes and brie (£6.50) and Cumberland sausages with onion and bacon mash (£9.50). It has an excellent children’s menu and play area.
You can download the pub walk at Duke of Cambridge Pub Walk.

4p on the Pint - Budget Day Blow for Community Pubs
4p on the Pint - Budget Day Blow for Community Pubs
We all know that many of our pubs are really struggling at the moment, what with last year's floods, the smoking ban, the supermarkets' loss-leading pricing strategy for alcohol sales, and so it goes on. We all know, it seems, except the Chancellor.
The Budget Day announcements this week will add more pressure as duty was piled onto the licensing trade with beer up 4p a pint, cider 3p, wine 14p a bottle and spirits 55p. That's 6% above inflation.

Still pubs are an easier target for the Chancellor than tackling the supermarket giants. So instead, we'll all pay the price for the misdeamours of the few, more people will choose to drink at home rather than pay to support our community pubs and the supermarkets will get an increased share of our money while yet more pubs flounder.
Oh, and the Chancellor does very nicely out of it too, thank you.

This Week - The Staff of Life's Pub Walk around Historic Ticknall, Derbyshire
This Week - The Staff of Life's Pub Walk around Historic Ticknall, Derbyshire
This pub walk in Derbyshire is rather different to many others I've featured in this blog. It takes the walker around the village of Ticknall and includes interesting historical titbits on many of the buildings and features of the village. They are sure to be authentic snippets too as the walk was created by the Ticknall Preservation and Historical Society!
The Staff of Life is Ticknall's Historic Country Inn and an ideal base for this walk. It's earned its mention in The Good Pub Guide and is very walker-friendly.
For further details click on Staff of Life Pub Walk.
