The approach to the pub might be considered uninspiring, going down a track through a wood yard then past some cottages to get to the actual pub at the end. The Kennet and Avon Canal runs right along side it and the campsite is behind.
The pub is at the centre of the crop circle region of Wiltshire and the rear room has an impressive painted ceiling on the subject. At least 3 real ales are available, more at busy times. They are mainly sourced locally and often featuring Stonehenge beers. Food is available everyday.
There is music every Saturday. There are 3 double rooms with en-suite bathrooms.
Historic Interest
Originally built in 1810 the Barge Inn was once known as the George Inn. It was roughly half-way along the canal and served as a bakehouse, slaughterhouse and shop for provisions for those living and working on the canal.
The building was destroyed by fire in 1858 and rebuilt within six months. It was built just within the parish boundary of Stanton St Bernard to "serve the Honey Street wharf in Alton parish, which refused to allow drinking establishments".
