This traditional pub sits right in the heart of Chippenham, making it an easy stop after exploring the town's riverside walks or visiting St Andrew's Church.
It's the kind of place where locals actually spend their time, and you'll quickly understand why—the atmosphere is genuinely welcoming and unhurried.
The bar stocks a solid selection of ales and lagers, spirits, and soft drinks, with food on hand if you're hungry. There's nothing pretentious about it; you're simply getting an honest pub experience where you can see how people in Chippenham unwind. While plenty of pubs across the region boast centuries of history, Old Lane serves as a more contemporary hub where the community comes together.
Chippenham itself sits at the Cotswolds' edge and works brilliantly as a base for exploring further afield. You're well-positioned for trips to Lacock village with its Abbey and Fox Talbot Museum, or over to Malmesbury, which has some fascinating medieval heritage. After a day spent discovering what's around you, Old Lane offers exactly what you need—a friendly room, a decent drink, and a genuine sense of everyday Wiltshire life. It's the kind of place that reminds you why you came to the area in the first place.
