A celebration of the time-honoured art of the pub walk, showcasing our countryside’s most treasured pubs and the glorious walking routes that connect them. Is a walk really a walk without a pub? Ducking into a cosy bar after a hike through beautiful countryside has to be one life’s great pleasures, and this guide celebrates both the pubs and the glorious trails that connect them. Pints and Pathways features 50 of the best pub walks in the UK, following spectacular routes all leading towards a snug rural pub, often at the heart of its community. This is a guide that will connect you with a place, its history, and the people who live there. The 50 walks in this book are suitable for all abilities, and each focus on a pub (or two), with detailed practical information. Walks are described with colourful narrative adding anecdote and intrigue, alongside stunning photography and useful maps. The stories of these paths form an evocative narrative of people and place, and the ways we used to travel through the country – from the old mills of rural Somerset to the canals of the Midlands, the traditional boat-building heartland of the North West and the old fishing communities of Cornwall. Reminiscences of pub owners and patrons are woven in, bringing to life memories of community and landscape. Illustrated with stunning portraiture and landscape photography, this is a beautiful and characterful guide to the best pub walks in Britain.
