Visit the The Pub Walker's On-line Store

As Christmas approaches, I thought it time to launch The Pub Walker's On-line Store with gift ideas for all those who share our passion.

There are hundreds of gifts to choose from and postage is free on all orders over £5, so why not browse some of the following categories:

• Books of pub walks for when you've tried all the downloads from MyFavouritePubWalks.com
• Pub guides to help you choose new pubs to walk from
  
• OS maps which are always worth carrying when you walk away from town centres
  
• Books on walking and exploring Britain which can be used alongside the pub guides
• GPS and navigation aids to help you stay on track
• Voice recorders for recording your own pub walks before submitting them to MyFavouritePubWalks.com

I'd be interested in hearing any other ideas you may have for gifts for pub walkers which I can then add to The Pub Walker's On-line Store.

A riverside pub walk to The Cutter Inn, Ely, Cambridgeshire

This Week's Pub Walk... a riverside pub walk to The Cutter Inn, Ely, Cambridgeshire

This circular Cutter Inn pub walk around Ely takes in the cathedral, a stretch of the River Great Ouse and offers a choice of pubs and tea rooms.

This is a gentle stroll along the river bank and then through light woodland back to Ely which should leave you plenty of time to enjoy the second smallest city in England. The cathedral which dominates Ely even offers tours up the Octagon which is definitely worth the climb, finishing with you actually standing on the lead roof!

The Cutter Inn offers an unbeatable riverside location with simple bar food or a full menu in the adjacent dining room. Our recommendation if it is a fine day is to settle for the bar menu and relax on the terrace overlooking the River Great Ouse and gaze at the wildlife, narrowboats and leisure cruisers. Certainly earns its Lucky Dip entry in The Good Pub Guide.

British Sausage Week, 3 - 9 November 2008

British Sausage Week, 3 - 9 November 2008

Many of us love the traditional Sausages and Mash that feature prominently on any self-respecting pub menu. In fact it is our most popular meat choice when eating out, according to The British Pork Executive (BPEX for short), so it clearly sits high on our list of pub favourites!

British Sausage Week this week will mean many pubs are celebrating with special menus and offers, making an ideal excuse to try some locally made speciality sausages at a pub near you. For further details of participating pubs, British Sausage Week and the Sausage Appreciation Society (!) click on British Sausage Week.
