A countryside pub close to Alton

The Three Horseshoes sits in the village of East Worldham, close to Alton and within easy reach of the South Downs National Park. Whether you are visiting for a pub lunch, staying overnight, meeting friends or exploring the surrounding countryside, there is plenty to enjoy nearby.

In 2016 the National Park was granted International Dark Sky Reserve status, making it one of the best places in the country to view the night sky. Today, it is one of only 23 such Reserves in the world.
