A walk from the pub is one of life’s simple pleasures—enjoying a scenic stroll before or after a hearty meal and a good pint. We have created three nearby walking routes with the perfect starting or finishing point...the pub!
Dean's Wood & Marsh Lane
2.25 miles: Fairly Easy | 1-1.5 hours
Grimsbury Castle & Eling Estate
5.5 miles: Moderate | 2-3 hours
Donnington Castle & Snelsmore Common
9.25 miles: Fairly Strenuous | 5-6 hours
For fans of history and TV drama we’re just five miles away from the stunning Highclere Castle, the setting for the global TV phenomena Downton Abbey.
However there is much more history than just Highclere, the remains of Donnington Castle where Henry VIII and Elizabeth I stayed is just over a mile away; the Elizabethan Shaw House in Newbury is now accessible to the public; and the Sandham Memorial Chapel with its incredible and thought-provoking Stanley Spencer paintings are well worth an hour of anyone’s time.
If you’re looking for something different then it’s worth spending a day at nearby Newbury Racecourse. We’re in the heart of horse training territory and Newbury is their proving ground.
