Right on the Hants/West Sussex border, near the town of Petersfield, is The White Hart. Located in the beautiful green and leafy countryside, it’s also within easy reach of Winchester, Portsmouth and Southampton, making it the ideal spot for a South Downs jaunt.

This historic pub is full of wooden beams, roaring fires and other old school characteristics, with a good dash of sleek modernity thrown in for good measure.

The menu features plenty of country pub faves such as fish and chips, homemade pies and Sunday roasts for hearty appetites alongside summery salads and tasty small plates.

If you want to make a few days of it, you can choose to stay in one of the pub’s comfortable rooms complete with wooden feature walls, antler chandeliers and even a few rustic handmade bunk beds in the family room.

So, whether you fancy a restorative G&T after scaling the local countryside or need a cosy nook to hunker down with a glass of red, you’ll be able to find a little spot to do just that here.
