Description:

-The Swan Inn is a charming and historic pub located on Low Street in the picturesque village of Hoxne. The building dates back to the 16th century and retains many of its original features, including exposed wooden beams and a cozy fireplace. The pub serves a range of delicious food and drink, including local ales and traditional pub fare.

Hoxne itself is a delightful village, with a rich history and plenty of attractions for visitors. The village is perhaps best known for its association with the Roman Empire – it was the site of a major battle between the Romans and the Iceni tribe in AD 61. Today, visitors can explore the remains of a Roman villa and see artifacts from the battle at the Hoxne Treasure display in the British Museum. Other local attractions include the beautiful St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church, the Hoxne Heritage Trail, and the nearby market town of Eye. Whether you’re interested in history, nature, or simply relaxing in a charming village pub, the Swan Inn and Hoxne are well worth a visit.
