HAMPSHIRE BOWMAN

• 56302 - Public houses and bars

We're dog friendly and mobile phone unfriendly with a children's play tower and nest swing at one end of our enormous garden. The Hampshire Bowman is a great unspoilt country pub - we've been in the CAMRA good pub guide for over 30 years!... The 70's saw the arrival of accomplished archers Stan and Carol Montague who ran Hampshire Archery and brought Merdon Bowmen Archery Club with them from it's previous home of Merdon Castle. Carol was in the British Olympic Archery team. Tragically she died in childbirth in about 1974. Stan remarried and carried on running the pub until the early 1980s. It was during Stan's time that we became a biker pub, he used to run trail runs out of here, through local woods and tracks... Unspoilt rural pub, a real ale and cider specialist within the South Downs National Park.
