This Week's Pub Walk... to the excellent Three Horseshoes at Cockfield, Suffolk
There is much to see on this walk, including a section along the trackbed of a dismantled railway line and the disused taxiway of a former World War II airfield, not to mention an excellent pub in The Good Pub Guide and in the AA Pub Guide.
Cockfield is a scattered village consisting of nine greens and hamlets, spread around the undulating countryside north of Lavenham. The walk starts from what must have been regarded as the original centre of the community, a cluster of old buildings around St. Peter's Church that now includes a new village hall and the local primary school.
The Three Horseshoes is a great find, a real character pub serving quality meals of excellent standard and great value. The menu also includes a wider selection of vegetarian meals that usually encountered in a pub. The beer garden has uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside.
MyFavouritePubWalks.com visited this pub in May 2009 and highly recommends it. It is certainly deserving of its places in the pub guides.

Sponsored Pub Walk to The Keystone, Guildford, Surrey

The Keystone is organising a sponsored walk in support of Age Concern, leading people out of Guildford and into the beautiful Surrey countryside. It is set for Saturday 1st August 2009 and you can find out more details and download the sponsor form at Keystone Sponsored Pub Walk.
The walk follows two parallel ridges, the views from both are fantastic. There are a couple of short, steep sections. Mainly sandy tracks and woodland paths. One section of country lane.
They will head out past the castle, onto Pewley Down, through the woods and up to the Albury Downs at Newlands Corner.
After refreshments here, it’s down through the valley & up again to St. Martha’s Hill for some stunning views over Chilworth.
The North Downs Way will makes for a leisurely return stroll back through Chantries Woods to Shalford Park and along the River Wey to the finishing line at The Keystone.
This sounds an enjoyable and well thought out route and definitely one for the diary on 1st August.
