The Swan on The River
According to the Berkshire Family History Society, the pub originally known as The Swan has been serving the community since at least 1752, really finding its charm during the coaching era. It is a Grade II listed building, originally a cosy home, it was transformed into a vibrant pub in 1847.
In the late nineteenth century, the publican also ran a noteworthy racehorse training yard right from this spot.
 The River Lambourn gently flows along the northern edge of the pub, with serene pastureland to its east, nestled in this beautiful countryside the lovely inn is beautifully positioned along the bank of the quaint River Lambourn, which meanders behind it, embracing the shade of nearby trees and is within the stunning North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (NWD AONB).
