With the changing of the season comes the glorious bursts of autumn colour, and what better way to experience the wonder of this time of year than with a country walk. Even better to be able to access the wonderful Cheshire countryside a hop, skip and jump from your own home, and even better to be able to round off your hike than with a well-deserved pint at a country pub! We feature a couple of great walks with country pubs in Cheshire and two fabulous properties for sale close by…
There’s no denying that a walk around Beeston Castle, Peckforton Hills and the Cheshire Plain is a perfect way to spend a Sunday. There’s a great walk with a wonderful pub at the end, beginning at Beeston Castle car park.
Once you’ve taken in the beauty of the castle, and perhaps stopped for a morning coffee at the cafe, head south on the Sandstone Trail, where a 44 minute leisurely walk takes you through country lanes, through the edge of the forest at Peckforton Castle and along the pretty lanes to your final destination: The Pheasant Inn, Burwardsley, where a welcoming pint and a hearty lunch or dinner awaits the wear traveller!
