About the Red Lion – your local country pub in Avebury

The Red Lion is what many would describe as a ‘postcard-perfect’ pub. From its beautifully rural setting to its thatched roof to its oh-so-traditional pub menu, it’s exactly what you’d hope to find in your search for the best pubs in Avebury. 

Renowned for being one of the most haunted pubs in the country, the Red Lion is as rich in folklore as it is in charm. If you’re lucky, you may even find a spare seat at the indoor well-turned table, where locals may be found whispering about the mysterious tales tied to the spot. Either way, all are welcome to unwind in our relaxing atmosphere with a heartwarming meal and a perfectly pulled pint. 

Whatever takes your countryside fancy, a trip to the Red Lion promises to be memorable.

No place like Avebury

Avebury is a wonderful destination if you’re looking to experience the charm of rural England with a touch of history and mystery. 

Known for its stunning prehistoric stone circle, which is even larger than Stonehenge, Avebury offers a unique opportunity to wander among Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments, among other things. Our village is also home to the prehistoric Silbury Hill, the largest artificial chalk mound in Europe, comparable in height and volume to the roughly contemporary Egyptian pyramid. 

Meanwhile, the surrounding village adds to the enchantment with its quaint cottages and inviting pubs, perfect for a relaxing break. Don’t miss a visit to Avebury Manor, where you can explore beautifully restored rooms and learn about the area’s fascinating past. The nearby West Kennet Long Barrow is also a must-see, offering a glimpse into Neolithic burial practices. 

Why not join us at the Red Lion afterwards, where we’ll be more than happy to treat you to the best pub grub in Wiltshire.
