Dering Arms (pub # 5) A remarkable thing about this (extended) walk is that there are now 5* pub stops on the way round. We went in all 5 - though not necessarily all the group in all the pubs. And it definitely wasn’t a pub crawl (for instance, I only managed 4 of them) *We could have made it 6 if we’d gone in the Blacksmiths as well but that would have been excessive.
