This pub walk is a gorgeous and peaceful walk around the Standon Lordship countryside from the wonderful Star pub in the pretty village of Standon.
After enjoying the village, there is a gentle climb up the big hill to the south of the village and takes you on a lovely loop of countryside walking with great views to enjoy as you go.
It's not that strenuous a hill to tackle, but it will work up more of an appetite for when you return to the lovely pub in the village with it's large sunny beer garden and play area for the kids.
Parking: Roadside parking in the village or parking at the Star pub.

If you have the extra time and energy we would highly recommend this longer route from Standon.
It still enjoys the village with it's pretty church, and the lovely circular walk around the Standon Lordship countryside, but this extra loop climbs up the big hill to the south of the village and takes you on a lovely loop of countryside walking with great views to enjoy as you go.
It's not that strenuous a hill to tackle, but it will work up more of an appetite for when you return to the lovely pub in the village with it's large beer garden and play area for the kids.

Lovely walk, just need to be careful when walking on the roads, mix of grass and road walking...will definately need walking boots/wellies when wet. Few hills but nothing too taxing. Also if you want less strnenuous walk, walk in the opposite direction as it seems to be less hilly.
Walker review
Beautiful peaceful walk . The Star pub at end had a lovely garden
Walker review
This is one of my absolute favourite walks. I love that a lot of it is along the river. Its so pretty and peaceful. We even saw a kingfisher this time. The bits on the lanes are super pretty too. The views are gorgeous the whole way. This time we took detour through the woods and that was really beautiful too. Lunch at the Star was excellent. We needed to book - even on a week day. Recommended.
Walker review
Stunning walk with amazing views. My husky amd springer loved it especially river access at multiple points allowing them to have a hood drink. Lots of parking on standon high street.
Walker review
Very nice especially along the river. If an extension of another couple of kilometres was possible, it would be great.
Walker review
A lovely walk. Half on lanes but very quiet with hardly any traffic. The other half in beautiful countryside.
