The Boot<br />
1 High Street, Histon, Cambridge, CB24 9LG<br />
Last year the pub was taken over by celebrity<br />
chef Raymond Blanc’s, The White Brasserie<br />
Company, and given a new lease of life with<br />
country style décor. It’s perfect if you’re<br />
looking to escape the crowds and traffic of<br />
the city. Here you can get comfy in one of the many cosy<br />
corners with a drink or tuck into a delicious meal – you’ll<br />
be pleasantly surprised by the creativity of the menu.<br />

The Boot, Histon<br />
Hertfordshire<br />
The Cowper Arms<br />
57 Cole Green Lane, Hertford, SG14 2NL<br />
The pub has recently undergone a makeover. Surrounded<br />
by beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, spend the<br />
morning walking along the nearby footpaths, before<br />
returning for lunch. The bar area is cosy, there’s seating<br />
near the open fire place and the food is delicious. They<br />
welcome dogs too, and even have their own doggy<br />
biscuit bar!<br />

The Alford Arms<br />
Frithsden, Hemel Hempstead, HP1 3DD<br />
The pub is nestled in the wooded valley of the Ashridge<br />
Forest Estate, so a perfect stop after a long fresh winter<br />
walk…especially with their policy of dogs, children and<br />
muddy boots welcome. Antique artwork, wooden tables<br />
and chairs decorate the pub and an open fire warms the<br />
cockles on a cold day. www.alfordarmsfrithsden.co.uk<br />
