š¶āāļø Enville Circular Walk ā Country Views, Historic Vibes & a Pub Finish
This easy 2-mile loop starts and ends at The Cat Inn and gives you everything you want in a countryside wander; tree-lined paths, peaceful pools, grazing horses and a cosy pub waiting for you at the end.
š³ The Walk
Set off from The Cat Inn and stroll down the grand, leafy drive of the Enville Hall Estate. You'll pass through the village cricket ground and about halfway in, reach a little pool. This is a great turning point if you've got wheels with you, as the path gets a bit bumpier beyond this.
Fancy going a bit further? Keep walking past the horses galloping around in the field, make your way through the fields and youāll be treated to another quiet pool and a great view of Enville Hall in all its glory. It feels like a proper countryside trek.

š½ļø The Cat Inn
Back where you started, The Cat Inn is the kind of pub you want after a walk; warm, friendly and full of proper homemade food. Theyāve got local ales (including Enville Ale), a dog-friendly atmosphere and outdoor seating if the weather plays nice.
Distance: About 2 miles (circular)
Start/Finish: The Cat Inn, Enville, DY7 5HA
Terrain: Flat-ish, buggy and bike-friendly up to the first pool
Facilities: Toilets and food at the pub
Dogs: Welcome on the walk and in the pub
Parking: Free at The Cat Inn (just make sure you get a drink or something)
What to wear: In winter it gets very muddy so full waterproofs, wellies, hiking boots and not your best clothes is definitely in store! But in summer it shouldn't be too bad, and if you're only going to the first pool it's all tarmac so no worries about mud!
Itās a perfect little wander with a view, a bit of history, and a decent pint waiting for you at the end. Easy win.
