A public house for more than 200 years, The Woolpack Inn is immortalised in the best-selling autobiography of Laurie Lee. The writer lived in the bucolic surrounds, and frequented the hillside tavern. Step inside and walk across worn wooden floors, past vintage furniture and shelves holding timeworn books. Search for portraits of the writer on the walls. Meander to the back bar to see his fondly kept vintage beer bottles.
