There are two pubs a short walk from the start in the pretty village as marked on the map.
Walk information
Like the first option, this slightly longer route also takes you through the Apes Grove woodland.
However, instead of looping back there, it then takes you further into the countryside, through the Great Wood, and visits the St Mary & All Saints Church before bringing you back to the village through more open countryside.
The pubs are a short walk from the start in the pretty village as marked on the map.
