For those nature walks that call for a proper pint and pub grub

Country pubs truly are God's gift.

They're a delightful place to breathe fresh air and gaze upon green pastures as you sip locally-brewed beer in the summer sun, and they're a charmingly welcome addition to those bitter winter evenings when you want nothing more than to cosy up by the fire with a mulled cider.
