The Jolly

The Jolly Huntsman is a privately owned, traditional village freehouse, situated in the peaceful and picturesque village of Kington St Michael, just 2 miles from Junction 17 of the M4 and close to other popular local villages such as Castle Combe, Badminton and Lacock.

The building dates back to the 18th Century and the premises were originally used as The White Horse Brewery in the 19th Century before becoming an inn. One of the old wells, used in the brewing process is still in existence today. The property was re-named as The Jolly Huntsman in the early 1970s.
