📍Cooksbridge to Plumpton 🥾 via The Jolly Sportsman 🍻
We had some family friends visiting from Australia and wanted to show them what we love so much about our walks. This one was just such a beautifully perfect example of English countryside, and the pub was amazing - huge garden, great food and lovely staff.
It’s really close to a winery we’ve visited on a separate walk and while we didn’t go there this time, it would be totally doable to add it on at the end. We’ve mapped the route out to include it but if you don’t fancy it, just jump on the train home from Plumpton!
Save this one for the next time you want an easy escape to the country 🥰
Details below and the route is in our which is linked in our bio! 🔍🗺️
📏 Distance - 5km from Cooksbridge to Plumpton (then if you’re adding the winery, it’s just under 5km return from Plumpton)
⏱️ Duration - around 1.5 hours of walking from Cooksbridge to Plumpton, around another hour return if you go to Artelium
💪 Difficulty - very easy
🍻🍽️ Lunch spot - was just fabulous, and only 20 mins or so to the station once you’re done!
🥂 Optional winery - we’ve been to before and can confirm it’s fantastic! Worth it if you feel like a little jaunt after lunch
🚂 Getting there - will get you from Victoria or Clapham Junction to Cooksbridge and then back from Plumpton
🐕 Doggos - would be a great one for the doggos! A few sheep along the way though, so they’ll need to be on a lead at times :)
