Add Your ReviewPerfect pub pit stop
Small but perfectly formed
We spent a delightful bank holiday weekend in nestled under the shade of the trees in the Green Man’s lush back yard, and quickly fell in love with the surrounding area, notching up many miles (and ales) as we strode the nearby canals. Mark the publican is extremely welcoming and a great help in pointing out good walks – and of course a dab hand at pulling a pint to help you unwind at the end of the day.
There’s a common theme coming through in the review and that is beer – we managed to visit no less than seven local pubs on our first afternoon. Long Itchington is a fantastic place to sample real ale with many local brews on offer.
The only thing to be aware of if you're using public transport is that buses don't run on Sundays or bank holidays (as we discovered!). Still, if you get stuck, you can tackle the six-mile walk from Leamington Spa - a lovely scenic walk straight up the canal where at the right time of year you can fill your face with wild blackberries and blueberries. And don’t leave without buying some eggs from the Green Man’s magnificent hens and bantams to take home as a delicious souvenir of your stay…
