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 next pub walk will take place on Thursday 4th June, meeting at The Golden Eagle, Ashley Green.

The walk is no more than 3 miles long. There is 1 stile and a short piece of on-road walking. Please note that there will be some quite steep ascents and descents. If you don’t feel up to tackling these climbs please consider coming on a different walk later in the year. We will visit Hockeridge and Pancake Woods (Royal Forestry Society sites) and hope to be able to see some varied habitats and possibly a number of different butterflies.

Please call Colin (07941 652918) if you would like to join us.

The following pub walk will take place on Thursday 2nd July 2026, meeting for an 11:00 start at The Dinton Hermit, Water Lane, Ford, HP17 8XH. Ford is located in the countryside to the south west of Aylesbury. Please park in the area of the car park closest to the road.

The walk is just over 3 miles long. There are no stiles, the gradients are gentle with 68 feet of ascent and a short piece of on-road walking along a quiet lane. When doing the route assessment I had to wade through a field of oilseed rape as the right of way had not been sprayed. It was manageable and I will lead the way!

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

The Pub Walks Group has now had three outings. We have had walks from: The Cock and Rabbit at the Lee in March; the Harrow at Bishopstone in April and The Squirrel at Penn Street in May.
