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).

To download full details go to Falcon Inn Pub Walk.

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.
