This Week - A Pub Walk to the Walker-Friendly Duke of Cambridge near Tilford, Surrey

This Week - A pub walk to the walker-friendly Duke of Cambridge near Tilford, Surrey

A slightly longer circular walk passing Stockbridge Pond and enjoying a mix of woodland and open heathland. The pub is on the edge of the pretty village of Tilford and a "Lucky Dip" entry in The Good Pub Guide 2008.

The Duke of Cambridge is a modern, bistro-style, immaculately presented family pub. It offers a very warm welcome to walkers (we were told there was no need to take our boots off) and a beer garden.

When we visited in January 2008, it was serving the deliciously rich-tasting and potent winter ale “Rosey Nosey” from Batemans. We enjoyed the broccoli and stilton soup with crusty bread (£4.50), a ciabatta with char-grilled courgettes, sun-blushed tomatoes and brie (£6.50) and Cumberland sausages with onion and bacon mash (£9.50). It has an excellent children’s menu and play area.

This Week's Pub Walk - A Sheltered Stroll to The Donkey, Charles Hill, Surrey

This Week's Pub Walk - A Sheltered Stroll to The Donkey, Charles Hill, Surrey

A new pub walk just added to MyFavouritePubWalks.com is the first on the site for the county of Surrey (although more are on the way).

Much of the walk is sheltered by trees and so is a good choice for windy winter days. The circular route is easy walking along a series of country lanes, footpaths and tracks. Starting at the pretty village of Tilford, the refreshment stop is half way around at Charles Hill where The Donkey deserves its place in The Good Pub Guide 2008.

The food is not cheap by pub standards but it has an interesting menu and is restaurant quality. It serves Abbot Ale, London Pride plus a good cup of tea.

So if its a bit blustery but you fancy a pub walk then this short sheltered walk may be a good one to try. More details can be found at the Donkey Pub Walk.
