Kings Arms Photo The Kings Arms is a family run, village pub with good community spirit and a friendly atmosphere, offering good beers and fine food.  Situated in the Avon valley we located within 5 minutes drive of the New Forest, 5 miles from the historic cathedral & market town of Salisbury and just 20 minutes away from Stonehenge.  Bournemouth beach is less than an hours drive away.  Parts of the Kings Arms allegedly dates back to the 13th century and has a Priests Hold.  Now we offer modern facilities in a well kept, traditional environment with real log fires burning throughout the winter and beer garden to enjoy the best of the summer weather.  You can sample some excellent home cooking, which is prepared every day from fresh ingredients, using local suppliers whenever possible.  The separate games room caters for anyone wanting to watch sky sport or play a game of pool or darts.  There is also a screen in the lounge and we can bring in another screen for major matches.  We are in an ideal location with views of the church, the area is wonderful for walking and hiking, with lovely walks in the forest and water meadows to be found.  Fishing is a major sport in the area and we were once one of the best course fishing sites in England, a lot of fisherman take advantage of our comfortable accommodation on offer at The Kings Arms.  Take the A338 Salisbury - Bournmouth Road, we are in Downton on a bend in the High Street.  It would be a pleasure to see you if you are visiting the delightful village of Downton.
