The Coal Exchange,
Emsworth,
Hampshire
This harbour-side pub is a favourite stop-off point on one of the South's most popular walking trails.
The coastal journey follows he Solent Way, a 60-mile footpath linking Milford-on.- ;ea in the New Forest with Emsworth. An alternative route is the Wayfarer's Walk, which extends 70 miles between the coast near Portsmouth to Emsworth, along in everything from coastal mudflats to the highest downland in southern England.
The Coal Exchange is a great place to fortify yourself before you start, or to rest our weary legs after a long day's trek. You may even be served your pint of Fuller's organic Honey Dew beer by one of the three barmaids who recently appeared in their own saucy calendar to raise money for charity.
