Walk information
This is a nice and simple countryside ramble around the pretty village of Weston.
You'll visit the pretty church before embarking on a mainly open countryside loop that also takes you through Weston Park.
When you arrive back at the village, there is then a great pub to enjoy in the village.

We went wrong on one path. If your heading towards a house and an archway you’ve gone too far.
Great walk, easy to follow. Went wrong once where needed to cross into a different field albeit the map looked like we should carry on. Great pub at the end of the route.
Lovely stroll through Weston, bit overgrown in places for little ones but overall good.Cricketers pub is fabulous
Great walk with a fantastic pub at the end.
Beautiful walk today, while son was at village hall for a party.
Walk information
If you have more time and energy for your walk around Weston, this second route option is a longer adventure that explores more of the peaceful countryside around the village.
The extra distance is mainly made up of more open countryside walking, so this longer route doesn't offer a huge amount more in terms of variety. However, the extra exercise and time spent in the peaceful surroundings will be welcome, and there is also an extra pub and a little detour to a cafe in Hall Green about half way around the route.

First-hand experiences
This is a really lovely peaceful walk with some nice views. Normally id need some water to give a walk a 5 but there were a lot of lovely meadows which was a bit special.
Lovely walk
Enjoyed this walk again on a hot sunny day but it would be a mud fest after rain! Parking easy. Route perfect. A few steep steps. Shop and pub in Weston.
Just so you know The Red lion in Weston is no longer there. This was a good walk but extremely muddy in February
Another lovely walk. App map perfect. Early on a few overgrown steps to negotiate. About two thirds of the way around a welcome bench with a view. Could be very muddy in places. Plenty of on street parking.
Yet another lovely walk! Peaceful countryside and hardly anyone seen on route. Quite a few stiles and gates to negotiate. Not particularly muddy. Would recommend.
Walk information
This third route option is another long walk option that heads in the opposite direction to the second walk.
This option heads through open fields and hills on a long loop towards the village of Graveley. You can expect sweeping open fields with nice views on the walk and no less than four pubs on the route, two in each village.
As walks 2 and 3 head in opposite directions without too much crossover, you could join them both together to create one epic walk if you wanted to really get some miles in!

Really enjoyable walk. Easy parking. A few quiet roads. Basically a circular walk from Weston to Graveley and back. Two lovely looking pubs in Graveley but not open at 10am!! Slight incline on leaving Graveley but a few benches to sist. Church in Graveley worth a visit and a bench in the churchyard.
A lovely walk with great views which we will definitely do again. Great pub (The Cricketers as the Red Lion is now closed) and two ancient churches as well as some very picturesque houses on the route.
Enjoyable walk through the open countryside. A slight incline on the homeward stretch. Peaceful. Great paths and easy to follow route. We completed in just over 2hrs so think your timings are overly generous. Great pint of beer in the Cricketers in Weston as a reward.
First time we have tried one of the walks. Most enjoyable route. Had 3 dogs with us and plenty of opportunity to let them off lead. Looking forward trying more. Currently enjoying the pub at the end.
