Pub Walks

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.

You can also ring or text Colin if you are going to miss the monthly meeting or for more information.

The November 2025 walk will take place on Thursday 6th – meeting at 11:00 at The Half Moon pub, Wilstone, HP23 4PD. Wilstone is located in the countryside to the north west of Tring.

Please Note – When this walk was tested the B489 road next to the Wilstone Reservoir was closed and diversions were in place, taking drivers from the A41 to the western edge of Tring and then back along Little Tring Road to Wilstone. The road closure was supposed to be in place for about 4 weeks from early September 2025. Please check this link for updates prior to the day. Alternatively, Wilstone could be accessed from the west via Wingrave!

The walk will be just over 3 miles long, it is mostly on the level, it is stile free and takes in a stretch of the Grand Union Canal walk.

Please sign up at the October monthly meeting or call Colin (07941 652918) if you would like to join us. All welcome.

The October 2025 walk took place on Thursday 2nd and met at The Bridgewater Arms Hotel, Little Gaddesden. Colin White was joined by a dozen Members for a walk of just over 3 miles through part of the National Trust’s Ashridge Estate. Having negotiating the seemingly ever-present golf course and traffic associated with Ashridge House, the group managed to escape some of the more intrusive impacts on tranquillity in a small part of the Golden Valley, a ‘Capability’ Brown landscape. The food and drink at the Bridgewater Arms were welcomed by all!

The September 2025 Walk took place on Thursday 4th and met at The Bell at Chearsley. The walk was about 3 miles. The group of 10 started in the rain and finished in the sun! We had a brief respite from the rain in the delightful St. Nicholas’ church, worth a visit if you are in that neck of the woods.

This was the final pub walk organised by Jan Paver. We would like to thank her very much for all the walks that have been done in the past, we may well visit some of the routes again in the future!
