Walking to the Pub

Walkers - taken from the Telegraph Article on pubs and walking in the UK

We manage to pack an awful lot into this little island you know (that's the UK by the way). Ok so a swathe is taken up with housing 60 million people and providing roads they can all drive on but that still leaves some of the most beautiful and diverse countryside in the world.

National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty abound - I live in one the Chiltern Hills that sweep round the north west corner of London half way to Oxford. All these areas are superb locations for walkers and photographers. And drinkers of course! More excellent pubs than you can shake a stick at.

The Telegraph has published an article on cosy pubs for walkers and recommends the roaring fires in Dartmoor, Sussex, Kent, South Wales, Cumbria and elsewhere. No recommendations for the Chilterns though. Shame. In Hampshire though there is a Food and Drink Trail leading to pubs and farm shops.

When I lived in the UK I ate far worse than I did in the states, but I was fitter solely because I walked to/from the pubs all the time. I suppose I was going too often for it to make a difference, but that's my own problem.
