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 next pub walk will take place on Thursday 7th May, meeting for an 11:00 start at The Squirrel, Penn Street, HP7 0PX. Penn Street is located in the countryside to the south west of Amersham. The car park is quite small, so please park sensibly and on-road if necessary.
The walk is about 3 miles long and is generally on the flat. There are no stiles and there will be a couple of short bits of walking next to the road. We hope to see some bluebells in Penn Wood (if they are still in bloom by then).
The following pub walk will take place on Thursday 4th June, meeting for an 11:00 start at The Golden Eagle, Chesham Road, Ashley Green, HP5 3PW. Ashley Green is located in the countryside to the south west of Berkhamsted (near the A41).
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 sign up at the May monthly meeting or call Colin (07941 652918) if you would like to join us.
The Pub Walks Group have already had two outings. Six hardy souls had a lovely walk from The Cock and Rabbit at the Lee in March and 14 of us enjoyed some countryside around Bishopstone in early April.
