Overview

Claire is leading a 9 mile, dog friendly leisurely walk. Including where we’re having our evening meal.

Welcome to the BEST Bostin Pub crawl/exercise/walk EVER (well this week anyway)

We shall meet at 10:45 at Stourbridge Junction Train Station to catch the 10:57 train to Blakedown where this epic journey of beer, laughs and interesting sights will start!

We will follow an ancient Roman Road through idyllic country views to our first stop ‘The Crown’ at Iverley. 

Then a short walk to our next destination the ‘New Inn’ with its rather good street food van and soooo yummy home made cake and brownies stall.

We shall then proceed to burn off those minor calories by drinking in several real ale pubs in Wollaston and then into Stourbridge itself.  After a brief stop in the ‘Hop Vault’ for some truly inspiring international beer drinking, there will be burger overload at “The Cock and Bull’ pub.

Please note that we need to reserve places for food, so I’ll need you to tell me ASAP if you want to book a spot.

If, after all this, you’re still going (and well done if you are!) we can take a walk to the ‘Seven Stars’ pub which takes us right back to the start of our journey.

This pub also has B&B rooms available and parking.
