The Waggon & Horses is a traditional coaching inn in the small hamlet of Beckhampton that's been serving travellers for centuries.
It remains a straightforward, comfortable stop for food and drink while you're exploring this part of Wiltshire.
The pub serves honest, hearty fare alongside a decent selection of ales and other drinks. You'll find a genuine mix of locals and visitors, and there's a real friendliness to the place that makes it easy to linger for a while. What really sets this location apart is what surrounds it. The Avebury Stone Circle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is just a short walk away, and the ancient Ridgeway path is equally accessible if you want to stretch your legs. If you're out spotting the White Horses carved into the chalk hills of the Marlborough Downs, this is a logical place to break your journey. The market town of Marlborough is only a short drive further if you want to explore shops and other attractions with more variety. The pub gives you a genuine feel for the area while being surrounded by some genuinely remarkable history and landscape. It works equally well whether you're planning a specific stop or just happen upon it while wandering.
