Red Lion, Avebury

The Red Lion public house in the village of Avebury is a traditional historic English pub, though not as old as the Neolithic stone circle that it’s set right in the middle of! It stands on the High Street and has a few unique characteristics—an ancient well inside the building and it’s also haunted (by multiple ghosts!). The locals think the two are related in some way, but what’s for sure is that the pub serves a good selection of local ales and ciders and offers a varied and tasty menu of traditional pub grub. There’s also a menu especially for the youngsters. Inside the pub, traditional features have been carefully retained and there is an atmosphere of warmth and homeliness.

The staff are welcoming and attentive, making the Red Lion a great place to take in the local culture, enjoy a bite to eat and a few drinks. Celebrations, get-togethers, dining out and day trips can be enjoyed here and with the backdrop of the ancient Avebury Stone Circle, the pub provides a unique experience for both regulars and those who haven’t yet visited. The Red Lion makes the perfect venue for lunch or dinner after a day exploring the Neolithic monuments of the local area. You can visit the Red Lion pub as part of a tour of Avebury Stone Circle.
