Millend

The New Inn (1), Waterley Bottom, near Dursley, Glos Reached through a network of single track lanes, this public house has the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. It is in fact not far from Dursley and also from the village of North Nibley. It is near the end of a cul-de-sac lane, although from the end there is a public footpath up Breakheart Hill. A good map or a Sat Nav system is recommended to find this pub, which has restricted opening hours. They are shown on its website.

Originally a farm cottage which served cider to workers in nearby industrial establishments. It seems to have become a pub around 1845. It still carries a range of ciders and also real ale etc. Food is served (see website) and there is a very attractive garden, and a car park.

The New Inn is one of many pubs in Gloucestershire that at one time sold West Country Ales, and still retains the WCA ceramic plaque. This brand eventually became part of the Whitbread empire, and around 1967 they discontinued the provision of these plaques. The one at the New Inn is immediately to the left of the main entrance.
