Overview

Alton has a rich heritage in brewing. Join me on a shortish walk between 6 different hostelries in Alton.   We will be visiting the Hotels, Pubs in alphabetical order to create a more interesting and slightly longer walk. We will meet in the The Market Square and walk to The Alton House Hotel followed by The Bakers Arms, The Crown, The Eight bells, The French Horn and finishing off at The Ivy House. There will be liquid refreshments and snacks available at each stop. I anticipate spending 30 - 40 mins at each hostelry, before moving on to the next. We will be walking through the flood meadows during the walk but all the paths are tarmaced so there will be no mud but shoes with some grip are advisable.
