If you fancy something a bit more rural, then the green and pleasant land has plenty to offer.

The 5-mile footpath follows the curve of the river, winding past wildflower meadows (草地). Post-walk pub: Pangbourne’s seventeenth-century pub The Swan serves high-end dishes. Bag a table on the riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires.

Post-walk pub: The cavernous Tree on Box Hill has an attractive menu and huge beer garden, or sample a glass of Juniper Hill at Denbies Winerie. A South Downs Ridge (山脊) If you’ve already done the classic Seven Sisters clifftop walk or can’t face all those hills, this is a long but lovely alternative. The route covering 14.3 miles snakes along a ridge and a river valley. Post-walk pub: There are always 10 real beers at the old-school pub The Wellington.
