About The Bell Inn

The Bell Inn was built as a Coaching Inn on the original London to Bath coaching route, now the A4, just outside the charming village of West Overton in Wiltshire. The area around The Bell Inn is said to have a greater concentration of ancient monuments than anywhere else in Britain and it also has an abundance of Sarsen Stones which were used by the builders of Stonehenge & Avebury. The Inn began trading in 1812 as The New Inn, changed its name in 1823 to The Bell Inn and has traded under that name ever since. The building is currently undergoing a major refurbishment and is expected to re-open in September. The Bell Inn will re-open as a Traditional Country Inn retaining plenty of its original character and features including sarsen stone walls. Inside you will find a traditional Local Bar and a Restaurant. At the rear is a secluded beer garden that provides customers with the opportunity to relax, eat & drink outside and enjoy views of the countryside.

The Refurbishment Update

The refurbishment of The Bell Inn at West Overton is progressing on schedule and we are hopeful that the pub will re-open in...
