Pub Walk to the Rose and Crown, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire

Pub Walk over National Trust Land to the Rose and Crown, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire

A beautiful, pleasant walk around the Woodchester Estate (National Trust land) through woods, past lily pad filled lakes and an impressive, abandoned gothic mansion.

The Rose and Crown is in the Lucky Dip section of The Good Pub Guide. It accepts dogs inside and out, has a huge beer garden and serves food all day, though the estate is a beautiful spot for a picnic too!

Pub Walk on the Moors to the Dartmoor Inn, Lydford, Devon

Pub Walk on the Moors to the Dartmoor Inn, Lydford, Devon

This is one of our favourite walks on Dartmoor near Lydford which we only discovered by talking to the locals. It offers typical Dartmoor views of tors and open moorland as well as a river that cascades spectacularly when in flood but otherwise has plenty of paddling opportunities. There is also an optional detour to climb the tor known as Widgery Cross.

The Dartmoor Inn is celebrating its 10th anniversary under current management and continues to win accolades from featuring in Eating Out in Pubs (Michelin Guides) to being included in The Observer’s “50 sexiest places to be fed!”

The food can be on the pricey side but in life you get what you pay for and the food is a joy. For this reason you’ll find it in all the other best pub guides too including the AA Pub Guide, The Good Pub Guide and the even more discerning Alastair Sawday’s Special Places series on Pubs and Inns of England and Wales.

When we stopped here, we told the staff that we were short of time and they obliged with fast, efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Red Lion Pub Walk from Hernhill, Faversham, Kent

This Week's Pub Walk... from the Red Lion, a former Wealdon Hall in Hernhill, Faversham, Kent

This walking route in the Faversham area is called The Peasants' Last Revolt and is another one offering a choice of start points from pubs in different villages.

The Red Lion features in both The Good Pub Guide 2008 and AA Pub Guide and was once a Wealdon Hall, built in 1364. Stop for a restoring bar-meal and, if the weather is good, relax outside in the peaceful beer garden with fine views over the countryside. Or if you’re looking for something more substantial, try a meal in the restaurant and dine under the soaring medieval rafters.

This is a walk of variety, from gently rolling countryside, peppered with wildflowers and industriously buzzing bees, to the woodland depths, where civilisation seems far behind you; from wide, expansive views of rolling fields and distant sea, to quiet country villages and narrow forest paths where the trees crowd densely overhead.
