A yearly ritual we’ll never skip. If you’re heading out for a Boxing Day walk this year, here are some routes worth saving, each ending at a great pub with Lucky Saint on tap.
The Duke William, Canterbury
Set in the charming Kent village of Ickham, The Duke William is home to the Wenderton Hoath Walk, a 9.4km trail through countryside that passes the Little Stour stream.
The Mutton, Hazeley Heath
Bordering Hazeley Heath, The Mutton offers miles of heathland and forest to explore. Try the Ambling Path for a Boxing Day stretch of the legs before heading back to the pub, where a playground awaits the little ones and a crisp Lucky Saint awaits you.
The Fishes, Oxfordshire
Set in acres of woodland that lead down to the banks of Seacourt Stream, The Fishes is the perfect base camp for a winter walk around the Oxfordshire countryside. Return to this Victorian inn for a menu of pub classics and a refreshing Lucky Saint.

The Dragon, Derby
Right beside the Trent and Mersey Canal, this 150-year-old pub makes an ideal Boxing Day stop. Head out for a wander along the towpath, before returning to roaring fires, hearty dishes, and plenty of cosy corners to settle into.
