Pub Walk to the "Giant's Grave" from the White Hart Inn at Oare, Marlborough, Wiltshire

This Week's Pub Walk... to the "Giant's Grave" from the White Hart Inn at Oare, Marlborough, Wiltshire

The ‘Giant’s Grave’ can be seen from the White Hart Inn car park and this walk starts and finishes at this lovely wayside inn. If you are eating at the inn after your walk, ask the landlord if you can park there and he will surely oblige. The food is good here and they also serve real ales.

The ‘Giant’s Grave’ is a long barrow upon Martinsell Hill. Local folklore states that if you run around the long barrow seven times you will wake the giant from his slumbers!

Stonehenge Pub Walk to The Greyhound, Amesbury, Wiltshire

This Week's Pub Walk... past Stonehenge to The Greyhound, Amesbury, Wiltshire

This longer pub walk takes you right past the magnificent Stonehenge site and over National Trust land into Amesbury for your stop at a traditional pub with good value, home cooked food.

The Greyhound serves a good range of home made food with the main courses all under a tenner and many under £7 - an increasing rarity these days. They also offer a choice of vegetarian meals.

Stonehenge is an impressive, awe-inspiring sight and few other pub walks offer such a memorable experience! Managed by English Heritage, much of the land around it is owned by the National Trust and membership of either will give you free access to circle the stones more closely. In any case, great views can be had from the public footpath that you follow on your pub walk past this best-known stone circle.

To download full details go to Stonehenge Pub Walk.

This Week's Free Pub Walk - The Haunch of Venison, Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Free Pub Walk: Coupon No. 125-221007 (expires 22/10/07)

The Haunch of Venison in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

This is a delightful walk around the cathedral city of Salisbury including a 14th century pub recommended in the Good Pub Guide.

I have chosen this pub walk as the first free pub walk for my blog as Salisbury is a favourite cathedral city of mine and this weekend also coincides with the last few days of the Salisbury City Art Trail. The trail gives opportunity to not only view their work but also to meet and talk with some of the 100 artists taking part.

The Art Trail passes close to the Haunch of Venison so you could vary our pub walk route so that you can add an additional cultural dimension to the trail! A map is available from Salisbury Tourist Information.


Download for free using the Coupon above - click on the pub name above, then order the pub walk and enter the Coupon Number during the checkout process. No payment is required so if you arrive at the Paypal page, hit the back arrow and look for the box at the very bottom of the previous page.

Coastal Access - Right to Roam our Coastline

Coastal Access - Right to Roam our English Coastline

Yesterday saw the start of the public consultation over coastal access. The question is whether the right to roam should be extended to grant uninterrupted public access along the length of the English coastline.

Natural England first presented their proposals to Defra earlier this year and I wrote about this then at Coastal Access is on its Way. Public support is very strong for a continual coastal corridor which would bring England into line with Scotland and shortly Wales. However it is strongly opposed by landowners and the battle is not yet won. Read more at Coastal Access and the right to roam our English coastline

To help maintain public and media focus on this initiative, MyFavouritePubWalks.com has decided to add a special "Favourite Coastal Pub Walk" category in its search for The Nation's Favourite Pub Walk. The additional prize will be a copy of "The Walkers Companion", published and donated by The Ramblers Association who have been strong campaigners for coastal access.

Today's participating pub: The Inn with the Well in Ogbourne St. George, Wiltshire.
Prizes offered: 1st - Meal for 2 with wine; 2nd - Bottle of Chianti or Pinot Grigio.
