Friendly, Lively Monmouth Ash

Part of the Hall & Woodhouse family of exceptional community pubs, located in the town of Verwood between the New Forest and Cranborne Chase, the Monmouth Ash is a perfect example of a friendly, quality English village pub. Steeped in history it still has a lot of its original features such as the traditional oak beams, open fires and flagstone floors.

The pub’s name, unique in Britain, commemorates the 1685 capture of the Duke of Monmouth (Charles II’s son) in Verwood, after his rebellion was defeated.
