AN HISTORIC PUB

The New Inn in Cerne Abbas is a historic coaching inn dating back to the 16th century, nestled in the heart of one of Dorset’s most picturesque villages. With its timber-framed facade, exposed beams, and centuries-old stonework, the inn reflects the rich architectural heritage of the region. Originally serving travelers and locals alike, it has stood as a central gathering place for over 400 years. Its enduring charm and character make it not only a place to enjoy food and drink but also a living reminder of Cerne Abbas’s deep-rooted history.
