Raise a glass to some of the greatest walks and finest pubs in the country with the new issue of Country Walking. We’ve taken a lead from the beer bible, the Good Pub Guide 2010, to create walks to its award-winning pubs and inns, from Wiltshire to Worcestershire, Kent to Cumbria, Somerset to the Peak District and Lancashire. At this time of year it’s great to be able to settle into a comfy pub at the end of a walk, relax by the roaring fire and savour a decent pint. So make the most of winter with these real ale trails.
We’ve also laced our boots for walks to some amazing hilltop art installations. They’re extraordinary, baffling, beautiful and bound to get you talking on your way back down – we’ve never seen anything like them.
An ancient installation of a different kind has been leading us cross-country, so don’t miss the third and final instalment of our fabulous trek across England on Hadrian’s Wall Path, as we reach the Solway. It’s the last piece of the jigsaw to help you plan your 2010 adventure along the old Roman frontier.
Getting set for longer walks and/or carrying more kit in winter, we put the best 35-litre rucksacks for men and women to the test. Mountain rescue experts review top gloves, and with Christmas on the horizon we round up the gifts we’d like to see in our (walking) stockings come December 25th.
One of the best things about walking, however, is that it’s free, so make the most of our 27 superb new routes to cut out, keep and walk. Each one has an Ordnance Survey map and step-by-step directions. There’s one near you!
And as we head into the festive season, discover how walking can cut cravings, burn calories and boost your sex life. Office party here we come.
