The Great Blighty Ale Trail

6 Pub Walks to Celebrate the British Countryside!

If you love to combine rambling with real ale, walking with watering holes and countryside with country pubs, then we have a real treat for you!

For the first time, we have teamed up with the TV channel Blighty to celebrate all things British with the launch of the Great Blighty Ale Trail.

Together we have created a series of six authentic British Ale Trails for you to enjoy. Simply select the map you want and download it here for free.

The maps have been designed to showcase the dramatic British countryside and the traditional pubs and ales it has to offer. Each map includes an easy to follow route with at least two pubs along the way and other interesting local destinations such as tea rooms and historic sites.

Of course, here at MyFavouritePubWalks.com we like to index our walks based on the pubs. So, instead of clicking the route maps below, if you prefer to choose the pub first then go to Pubs on the Ale Trail where you can do that too!

Walk 1: Ely, Cambridgeshire
A circular walk around Ely, taking in the cathedral, a stretch of the River Great Ouse and offering a choice of pubs and tea rooms.

Walk 2: Cookham, Berkshire
A varied walk through open countryside and a golf course, fields and woodland. Enjoy great views over the Thames before a stroll along the towpath back into Cookham.

Walk 3: Monknash, South Glamorgan
A circular walk following the coastal footpath along the cliff tops with varied terrain, seaward views, two coves, some old ruins and a nature reserve too!

Walk 4: Sturminster Newton, Dorset
A pleasant level walk in Dorset countryside including the attractive village of Sturminster Newton, a stretch of the River Stour, open pasture, a former railway track and two mills.

Walk 5: Welford-on-Avon, Warwickshire
An easy, level walk including stretches of the River Avon and the pretty village of Welford-on-Avon with its thatched cottages, church, store and maypole!

Walk 6: Kippen, Stirling
This short, easy walk offers variety of landscape and far-reaching views especially on a clear day.

We can't guarantee you sunshine... but we can help you celebrate the great British countryside! So why not choose a route near you, walk up an appetite and thirst and then relax at a great pub!
