The Upham Collection
Perfect for Walking
Pub walks from our door
A walk from the pub is one of life’s simple pleasures—enjoying a scenic stroll before or after a hearty meal and a good pint. Whether it’s a countryside ramble through rolling fields or downs, a waterside route alongside rivers and estuaries or a woodland trail, a well-placed pub offers the perfect starting or finishing point.
Our Upham Inns collection of pubs with rooms are located in idyllic country spots with an abundance of walking countryside on our doorstep. We’ve put together a range of walks from each of our pubs for you to enjoy, with route directions and highlights of the key points of interest. For each pub we offer a choice of walks from a short stroll to a longer hike. On each of our individual pub pages we have provided downloadable pdfs for you to use on your walks.
