Avoncliff: The 'Cross Guns'
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!

The Cross Guns
The pub has a history much older than the canal now beside it. With parts thought to be originally from the 1490s, the pub was known as the Carpenter's Arms in the Tudor era. However, from 1794 the 9th (Bradford on Avon) Battalion of the Wiltshire Rifle Volunteers was formed and used the area for rifle practice; the name then changed to the Cross Guns. Shortly after, the Kennet and Avon Canal opened up right alongside.
The chimney is part of the old Avoncilff cloth mills. There were mills here from the sixteenth century, working grist and corn principally on the Winsley side. This mill by the pub began life fulling in the eighteenth century before being taken over as a cloth mill by Moggeridge & Joyce. That line of work ended in the 1960s - the pub and mills closed and the canal ran dry. Fortunately, determined owners and many volunteers have revived this historic site.
