A countryside walk followed by a cosy pub stop is one of life\u2019s simple pleasures. With rolling hills, pretty villages, and centuries-old inns, the Cotswolds<\/a> is the perfect setting for just that.<\/p>\n

At Manor Cottages, we’ve rounded up our favourite pub walks in the Cotswolds which combine scenic routes with memorable food, drink, and hospitality.<\/p>\n

\n

Broadway: The Lygon Arms<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Best for: history, Sunday roasts, autumn colours<\/p>\n

Start in the charming village of Broadway and head up to Broadway Tower for sweeping views across the Cotswolds. The circular walk is about four miles and buggy-friendly on the gentler paths.<\/p>\n

Your reward? A meal at The Lygon Arms<\/a>, a 16th-century coaching inn. Expect hearty Sunday roasts, a large garden for summer, and a crackling fire in winter. Dogs are welcome both indoors and outside. Parking is available in Broadway, and the village has regular bus services.<\/p>\n

Bourton-on-the-Water: The Kingsbridge Inn<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Best for: families, riverside seating, summer days<\/p>\n

This short walk meanders along the River Windrush and around the chocolate-box village of Bourton-on-the-Water. It\u2019s flat, making it ideal for families and buggies.<\/p>\n

The Kingsbridge Inn<\/a> sits right on the river with a beer garden that\u2019s perfect for summer evenings. With a wide food menu and dog-friendly policy, it\u2019s a great stop whether you\u2019re popping in for a quick pint or a full meal. Public parking is available in Bourton.<\/p>\n

Ebrington: The Ebrington Arms<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Best for: cosy fireplaces, dog-friendly rambles, spring wildflowers<\/p>\n

A longer circular walk from Chipping Campden takes you across rolling fields and into the quiet village of Ebrington. At the centre sits The Ebrington Arms<\/a>, voted one of the best village pubs in the UK.<\/p>\n

Known for its local ales and excellent seasonal menus, it\u2019s particularly cosy in colder months with open fires. The walk is moderately challenging and not ideal for pushchairs, but dogs are very welcome both on the route and in the pub.<\/p>\n

Burford: The Angel at Burford<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Best for: market town charm, seasonal menus, winter evenings<\/p>\n

Burford, often called the \u201cgateway to the Cotswolds,\u201d offers a variety of walks along the Windrush Valley. After exploring, stop at The Angel at Burford<\/a>, a 16th-century inn with hearty seasonal dishes and a welcoming atmosphere.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s limited parking nearby, and the pub is dog-friendly. A log fire makes it a perfect winter pub stop.<\/p>\n
