Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

A 4.2-mile two-hour figure round the Brit valley, out of the square past the church, up over the shoulder of Horn Hill for the view down on the town, then along the river to Netherbury and back by field paths. Around 170 metres of climb on grass field paths, sunken lanes and half a mile of quiet tarmac, with a good number of gates and two stiles a heavy dog will need help over. Park in the free Fleet Street or Yarn Barton car parks in Beaminster, both small and both within two minutes of the square. Sheep and cattle graze the valley fields so leads through the stock, and the Brit is shallow, clean and easy to get into for a drink most of the way.

Nobody has written one for Red Lion. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.

Know one we have missed?

Tell us the pub we have not walked into yet.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
