The former Coach & Horses, Ganborough, Glos This used to be a public house run by Donnington Brewery, a small Cotswold brewery. It is on the A424 Stow-on-the-Wold to Broadway road. A few months ago the pub was closed, and all signage has been removed. It was sometimes confused with the Coach & Horses pub at Longborough, which is very near to here, and is also owned by Donnington Brewery. At present there is a noticeboard outside suggesting that potential patrons go to the pub at Longborough.

The pub, when open, is shown in this January 2011 photograph by Bill Nicholls:- <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2268730">SP1729 : The Coach and Horses</a>.
