Pick your path, find your pub, book your base

Quiet tracks through open countryside, a well-kept pint at the end of it and a cottage to fall back into. While the tourist crowds follow the same trails, we've worked with The Ramblers, Britain's walking charity, to discover the lesser-known routes still worth exploring, each one with a proper pub to stop at along the way. Find it all on the map below.

Pub walks with Clare Balding

For Clare Balding, walking has always been about more than the route. As the host of Radio 4's Ramblings, she's spent years exploring Britain's most beautiful places on foot, one conversation at a time. She knows better than most that the best walks are rarely the most obvious ones.

This summer, Clare has teamed up with cottages.com to champion the routes that don't make the algorithm's shortlist. The lesser-know routes, the unhurried pubs, the parts of Britain that reward those who look a little further.

Boots on. Phone down. Let's go.
