A Riverside Pub Walk to The Falcon Inn, St Mawgan, Newquay, Cornwall

This Week's Pub Walk... along a Riverside to The Falcon Inn, St Mawgan, Newquay, Cornwall

The Falcon Inn is at the centre of the picturesque village of St Mawgan which is a pretty and traditional Cornish village and very convenient if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Newquay beaches just a few miles away.

The Falcon Inn is a delightful 16th Century wisteria-clad inn. It is built from stone in common with other buildings in the village like the old Post Office and Stores as well as the Antique Shop which it adjoins.

This is a great choice for a pub walk and a real pub-lovers delight, unspoilt with heaps of character and a cobbled courtyard. Typically for the area, it serves the beers of the St Austell brewery including the award-winning Tribute.

It is one of those places that has the winning combination of excellent food and enviable location so it is not surprising to see it in a range of the pub guides including The Good Pub Guide 2008, Eating Out in Pubs 2008 (Michelin Guides) and Pubs and Inns of England and Wales (Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay).

• Books on walking and exploring Britain which can be used alongside the pub guides

A riverside pub walk to The Cutter Inn, Ely, Cambridgeshire

This Week's Pub Walk... a riverside pub walk to The Cutter Inn, Ely, Cambridgeshire

This circular Cutter Inn pub walk around Ely takes in the cathedral, a stretch of the River Great Ouse and offers a choice of pubs and tea rooms.

This is a gentle stroll along the river bank and then through light woodland back to Ely which should leave you plenty of time to enjoy the second smallest city in England. The cathedral which dominates Ely even offers tours up the Octagon which is definitely worth the climb, finishing with you actually standing on the lead roof!

The Cutter Inn offers an unbeatable riverside location with simple bar food or a full menu in the adjacent dining room. Our recommendation if it is a fine day is to settle for the bar menu and relax on the terrace overlooking the River Great Ouse and gaze at the wildlife, narrowboats and leisure cruisers. Certainly earns its Lucky Dip entry in The Good Pub Guide.
