Wonderful Walks
We are fortunate to be surrounded by some lovely countryside and very pretty villages in this area. There are some great local walks along established footpaths, some of which form part of the Blue Lias Rings walks and the Millenium Way. These walks take you through woods, across farmland and to villages such as Harbury, Stockton, Napton and Ladbroke.
This area is known for its fossils, especially ammonites, due to deposits of blue lias clay. This is the same material which has formed the cliffs at Lyme Regis in Dorset. The Blue Lias Rings walking guides are complete with easy to follow navigation, maps and notes on historical points of interest. You might just come across a fossil yourself.
Several walks go from The Bell Inn, Ladbroke and take in some of the beautiful architecture in the village including thatched cottages and All Saints Church, before heading out across farmland, along bridleways and passed woodland. As part of the Blue Lias Rings walks, there are two circular routes, one of which is 5 ¾ miles and the other 8 ¼ miles, both of which start and end at The Bell. Here you can leave your muddy boots in the porch and warm up with a beverage or spot of lunch by the fire. Our Main menu includes freshly baked baguettes with fries or soup (from £5.75), fresh seasonal dishes as well as pub classics such as Fish & Chips and Pie of the Day. We also offer a Prix Fixe Menu during the week – 2 courses £13.50 / 3 courses £16.50.
The Bell Inn welcomes walking groups. You are welcome to leave your car at the pub while you head off on your walk. By pre-ordering your lunch, we can ensure it is ready for you on your return. Our restaurant is warm and comfortable and can seat large groups, as well as offering more intimate dining for smaller groups. Dogs are welcome in the bar.
So remember, “there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing” (Billy Connolly) so get yourself togged up and head over to The Bell Inn!
*** If you are planning on visiting us at the weekend then booking is strongly advised. (Dogs are welcome in the bar, however, we are unable to reserve tables in the bar.) ***
