About the Bear Inn – your local country pub in Berkswell

At the heart of the peaceful village of Berkswell is the Bear Inn, and it’s everything you would expect a country pub to be. Warm, welcoming and with an intriguing history that only a proper pub has.

It’s a place where the fires roar in winter, where the beams are relics of an incredible heritage and where the atmosphere is unmatched, every day of the week. And with our pints of cask ale, hearty pub food and friendly staff, it’s no surprise we’ve been a local favourite for decades. 

Whether you’re recharging after a trek along the Heart of England Way, catching up with friends or settling in for a Sunday roast with the family, it’s a real countryside gem and one of the finest pubs in Berkswell

The perfect pit-stop along the Heart of England Way

Nestled between Solihull and Coventry, Berkswell is a countryside haven where you can rest, recharge and slip into a slower pace of life. 

If you’re a keen walker, the 101-mile Heart of England Way cuts through Berkswell. Whether you’re walking the whole way or just a section through the West Midlands, make Berkswell your stop-off point and you won’t be disappointed. 

Soak up a little history at the ancient church, imagine medieval days gone by at the stocks and the well on the village green, or simply admire the countryside views. And if you want to venture further afield for a larger dose of history, the incredible Warwick Castle is close by. 

And if local culture is your thing, you’ll be fascinated by the turbulent past of the Bear Inn – one of the top countryside pubs in Berkswell. Our historic alehouse is a Grade II listed timber building and has plenty of stories to tell. Plus, you’ll find a warm welcome and a true taste of classic British hospitality.
