For those wanting to get out and explore in 2023, Shepherd Neame has launched its latest Pub Walk — and it comes with a view of France!
The walk has the added bonus of starting and finishing at The Coastguard pub, in St Margaret’s Bay. The pub, which is right on the beach, is a haven for those enjoying the often bracing cliff walks and lays claim to being Britain’s nearest pub to France. On a clear day, there is a view across the waves to Calais.
The five-mile walk takes one from The Coastguard towards Dover along the top of its famous White Cliffs, and takes around two and a half hours. Sights to take in along the way include the National Trust’s South Foreland Lighthouse.
Shepherd Neame now has 15 Pub Walk guides, which take in a wide variety of terrains and beautiful scenery across Kent and East Sussex — perfect to enjoy with or without a four-legged friend. Most importantly, they all start and finish at a Shepherd Neame pub, so you can reward yourself at the end with a well-earned drink or a bite to eat.
“Our Pub Walks have proved incredibly popular since we first launched them in 2020,” said Jonathon Swaine, Shepherd Neame’s managing director, pubs.
“They are a great way to encourage people to get out and about and explore some of the breathtaking countryside in the South East, as well as, of course, the chance to relax and rewind afterwards enjoying something to eat or drink at one of our unique pubs.”
