Real Ale Rambles: Country walks, real ale and great British pubs

Real Ale Rambles combines two great British pleasures: a good country walk and a well-kept pint at the end of it. We share circular walking routes across the UK, each finishing at a pub worth visiting, with distances, terrain and transport tips.

For beer lovers, our guides explain real ale styles, cask conditioning and how to tell a well-kept pint, along with profiles of independent breweries. We also keep track of beer festivals around the country so you can plan your next visit.

Please walk safely, follow the Countryside Code, check pub opening times before setting off and always drink responsibly. We hope Real Ale Rambles inspires your next day out.
