Fleur de Lys
Boasting a rich history dating back to 1096, this charming thatched pub, nestled in the heart of the Forest, prides itself on being the oldest in the area. The pub's unique character is accentuated by its partial stone flooring and a fireplace that still holds the chains once used for smoking ham and fish. The establishment offers a cozy public bar, a comfortable lounge, and a snug, providing a variety of spaces to relax and enjoy. Adding to its charm, the pub's garden features a quaint wishing well, perfect for those looking to make a wish or simply enjoy the serene surroundings. Just a mile north of the pub, visitors can find the Boldre church, which is home to the HMS Hood memorial. While the pub's operating hours may vary, extended hours are typically offered during the summer months to allow patrons to make the most of the longer days. This pub is not just a place to enjoy a drink, but a piece of history, offering a unique and memorable experience.
