Plough on the Hill, Badbury


Directions

You want to visit - You have this in

Perched proudly on the hill above Junction 15 of the M4 this Arkell’s pub has a bar and separate restaurant area. Apart from the regular Arkell’s 3B there is usually an Arkell’s seasonal beer, although the emphasis is firmly on the food with an extensive menu at reasonable prices. Terraced pub gardens give views of the surrounding countryside.

Historic Interest

Built some time after 1773, it brewed its own beer until 1864, when it was leased to Arkell's, who bought the freehold in 1907. Modernised in the 1960s and extended in 1990.
