We generally walk in the beautiful countryside of Buckinghamshire, for pleasure and to: improve fitness, health and well-being; foster friendship, and socialise with like-minded people.
The pub walks can be enjoyed by everyone. All you need is the enthusiasm to enjoy fresh air, the lovely countryside and a good old British pub. Each walk is circular and guides you directly from the pub’s front door.
We are a small sociable group and new members are welcome. We usually meet on the first Thursday of the month during the summer. We will be trialling walks into the autumn and winter – watch this space!
Typically the walks are between 3 and 4 miles long and start from a pub car park at 11:00am, and finish with lunch at around 1:00pm. (Lunch is optional). Everyone is welcome to join us.

The first pub walk of 2026 will take place on Thursday 5th March, meeting at 10:50 (to allow for pre-ordering food) at The Cock and Rabbit Inn, The Lee, HP16 9LZ. The Lee is located in the countryside to the south east of Wendover.
The walk is nearly 3½ miles long, there are some gentle gradients, there is one stile and there will be 3 short bits of walking on the road (but these are quiet back lanes). When I tested this route it was rather muddy, so if we get a fair bit of rain prior to the walk please wear suitable footwear and clothing.
Please sign up at the February monthly meeting or call Colin (07941 652918) if you would like to join us. All welcome.
The final walk of 2025 took place on 6th November. We met at The Half Moon pub at Wilstone. The walk was just over 3 miles, and we managed to: navigate along part of the Grand Union Canal walk; not drown in the slurry in a farmyard at Gubblecote; see some interesting artwork in fence-form, and have a welcome lunch at the pub.
I have started working on routes for next year, and I hope to lead the first walk of 2026 in March. I mentioned at the November meeting that we will hopefully be able to see bluebells in May.
I would like to hear from Members about doing an evening walk to try and experience the wonder of glowworms. This would be best in July. Is this something that would interest the pub walkers? Do let me know.
I would like to, once again, thank Jan Paver for all the great work that she has put in on Pub Walks in the past.
