Watford and much of the UK is set to get a last blast of summer weather this weekend - so what better way to enjoy it than a nice walk with a pub stop?

From strolling through countryside, to wandering around woods and scenic paths, there are lots of options within range of fantastic pubs.

Here is a list of walks near and around Watford which have a pub stop along the way.

Leavesden Country Park

This park is located in Abbots Langley and is 27 hectares, with a free car park, football pitch, walking and biking paths and wildlife areas.

It used to be the site of Leavesden Asylum and St Pancras Orphanage.

A five-minute walk from the park is The Swan Pub, which is in College Road and is open seven days a week.

Croxley Common Moor

This is 100 acres of land which is been registered as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its rarity of plants.

Walks can be completed along the River Glade as well as the nature reserve.

A 12-minute walk from the Common Moor, there is The Red House pub, which would be a good pitstop for a drink.

Bishop’s Wood Country Park

Located in Rickmansworth, this park is 38 hectares, and 1.5 miles of paths in the woods link to the London Outer Orbital Path.
