Walk: Nangreaves

We are both big walkers/hikers and love getting out in all weathers. Many years ago my Dad bought us a book called 'Pub Walks in Lancashire' and it was doing our first walk out of that book that we discovered the village where we live now! It is the perfect book for Sunday strolls, none of the walks are more than about 8 miles and all of them start/finish at a good pub serving proper ale. So on Sunday as the weather was looking better we decided to get out and stretch our legs. Our walk started in Nangreaves at the Lord Raglan pub. It was 7.5 miles and all fairly easy going. Like many of our walks in Lancashire it had a mix of mud, moors, industrial heritage and mud.

Walk done we collapsed in the pub for a well earned pint. The Lord Raglan has its own microbrewery on site and we decided to try a pint of the Balaclava and the Citrus. They were both extremely good and quite light.The pub has a nice old fashioned feel with wooden furniture in a mix of styles and sizes. The food also looked excellent and it was busy which is always a good sign. I think we'll definitely return to try it out. Apologies for the slight blurriness of the photos below, it was the camera not the beer honest!
