The White Hart in Castle Combe has reopened following refurbishment under new management from brewery Wadworth.

The White Hart pub in Castle Combe, Wiltshire has reopened on 9 October following a period of closure for refurbishment and a change of management. Wadworth brewery has taken the pub into its Managed House estate with a new management team in place.

A spokesperson for the brewery said the new team will bring 'fresh energy to the pub while retaining its traditional character and place at the heart of the village'. The refurbishment has 'sympathetically updated the pub while retaining its character and charm', with cosy interiors, traditional features and a welcoming courtyard garden providing the setting for meals, drinks and socialising.

Castle Combe has become a world-famous destination for travellers seeking a quintessential English experience. Earlier this year, The Independent named it number one on a list of the UK's prettiest towns and villages. The publication noted that the village is surrounded by the Cotswolds National Landscape and is home to 13th-century churches, traditional pubs and intimate bed and breakfasts.

The village has also become a popular filming location for blockbuster films including Stardust and War Horse, and is regularly voted the most beautiful area in Britain.
