In the heart of Sherston, you’ll discover a really characterful and welcoming spot – the Rattlebone Inn.

This isn't just any village pub; it carries the story of a local legend. It's named after John Rattlebone, a Saxon hero who, according to local lore, fought bravely in the Battle of Sherston back in 1016, even inspiring his troops after suffering severe wounds. Stepping inside, you get a real sense of that history and the inn's deep roots in the community.

It’s the kind of place where you can relax with a well-kept drink and enjoy some hearty, satisfying pub food. Whether you’ve been exploring the village, walking nearby, or just passing through, it offers a warm atmosphere perfect for unwinding. You'll often find locals and visitors chatting, making it a great place to soak up the friendly Wiltshire vibe. It's a handy stop if you’re exploring areas like Sopworth, Luckington, Knockdown, Easton Grey, Alderton, or Westonbirt, providing a genuine local experience in this corner of the Cotswolds.
