There are three public houses in Alvington: The Blacksmith's Arms; The Globe Inn (which reopened in November 2014); and The Swan Inn. The Globe Inn dates back to around 1805. The Blacksmith's Arms dates back the late nineteenth-century in a building that was formerly a smithy (hence the pub's current name). The Swan Inn (now the Swan House Tea Rooms) lies on the border of Alvington and neighbouring Woolaston (also classed as Colne Valley), and once contained a mill in its early days. Alvington lies on the A48 road, which runs from Chepstow in Monmouthshire, Wales, to Gloucester, England.[9] The nearest railway stations can also be found in Lydney (on local trains from Gloucester) and Chepstow on more regular national routes. The Stagecoach West number 72 bus serves the village on its Chepstow to Cinderford route from Mondays to Saturdays Other things to note For those with a love of wild water swimming, mountain biking, fishing and many more out door activities all on your door step. It’s surrounded by fields which are grazed by a small herd of what have been dubbed “the world’s cutest sheep” (valais black nose, if you’re wondering) We are a pet free, adult only site 🥰 you can enjoy the livestock, ponies, chickens & ducks who are all hear ready to welcome guests. The Globe Inn and The Swan House Tea Room are within walking distance they both serve some delicious meals in the beautiful quaint village of Alvington.
