Walking near Lulworth Cove, Dorset? Visit The Castle Inn’s Beer and Cider Festival

This Week ... Walking near Lulworth Cove, Dorset? Visit The Castle Inn’s Beer and Cider Festival

Lulworth Cove is iconic. It is a breath-taking sight from the land, the sea and even the air with its beautiful symmetry and curves being captured in innumerable photographs. Walkers simply have to change down a gear to enjoy the spectacular scenery as they travel this section of the South West Coast Path.

This weekend only, in return for the minor detour to West Lulworth, walkers can enjoy a special treat if they stop by at the Castle Inn, as it is hosting its very first Beer and Cider Festival from 25th to 27th September.

If only I could be there too! Still, as the Castle Inn features in both The Good Pub Guide and in the AA Pub Guide, this is a pub walk worth doing any time of year.

For information on walks around Lulworth, click on Castle Inn pub walks and if you just want details on their Beer and Cider Festival then go to the Castle Inn’s website.

A Walk to a New Forest Beer Festival at the Beaulieu Road Inn, Hampshire

This Week ... A New Forest walk to The Beaulieu Road Inn Beer Festival, Brockenhurst, Hampshire

The New Forest has to be one of the very best walking areas in the country and the Beaulieu Road Inn sits right at its heart, surrounded by the open heathland.

I have just seen that the Beaulieu Road Inn is running a beer festival this weekend so this is a perfect time to repeat one of my all time favourite pub walks and finish with a pint of real ale. The easy circular pub walk takes you through a beautiful part of the New Forest, across some of its famous lawns and through mixed woodland with some great views across forest and moorland. There is always plenty of wildlife to see and the chances of glimpsing deer and even buzzards is good. And of course the infamous New Forest ponies are everywhere!

The Beaulieu Road Inn is running its beer festival from Friday 25th to Saturday 27th September and is offering 25 real ales, bottled lagers and ciders to accompany its home-cooked food created from locally sourced produce. Although it is a popular place, away from the inn you may often see no other walkers on this route.

To download full details click on The Beaulieu Road Inn pub walk.

Choice of 12 Pubs for all tastes on the Dawlish Ale Trail, Devon

This Week ... The Dawlish Ale Trail on the Devon Coast

Despite what people may think, I'm no fan of pub crawls. Taking a walk is the first pleasure and then a pub stop, just one ideally towards the end, is the icing on the cake.

So when I saw the Dawlish Ale Trail was a walk linking 12 pubs, this felt like a pub crawl to me and I almost ignored it. But then I looked more closely and found that nearly half this one hour walk is along the "Brook", running through the centre of the village of Dawlish and abundant with waterfowl. Suddenly this started to seem more appealing.

In fact, this gives a great variety of pubs to choose from and, though I would choose the more traditional ones like The Swan Inn who sent me the trail or maybe The Marine Tavern, others I guess may go for something rather different like The Teignmouth Inn with its Sky screen sports!

So this pub walk has something for everyone and is in fact easily extendable to include longer walks along the Devon coast.

Click on Dawlish Ale Trail to see the full list of pubs on the walk and then click through to the route map itself.
