Excellent public house, very old and in beautiful surroundings. Welcoming staff, several real ales and many single-malt whiskies, fine food and good accommodation. This place is a real gem. Preferably arrive by train at Avoncliff Halt, two minutes' easy walk away across the canal aqueduct. The former name of the pub was the 'Carpenter's Arms', but was changed when the Royal Artillery opened a shooting range nearby. Don't worry though, the guns and bullets are long gone!
