The Black Horse makes a marvellous country pub - and it must have been a wonderful farmhouse. Perched on the steep hill that climbs up from Wanborough, it once used to be part of Callas Hill Farm. It was then the property of John Deacon and he allowed John Bray to open it as a beerhouse called Callis House in 1862. Arkell's bought the property in 1891 at a cost of £620. The adjoining hall was added much later, in 1939, to house Wanborough British Legion - another symbol of how Arkell's pubs have been a focal point of local communities over the years. Today you could call The Black Horse a pub for all seasons. It's a warm winter refuge that you mustn't leave without looking in on the cosy little unspoilt snug - though you will need to arrive early if you want a seat there. The Black Horse is about to receive a large refurbishment, which will add to its already fine reputation amongst those who enjoy a drink at a typically English country pub. On long summer evenings, the compact garden, complete with aviary and play area, has always been as popular with children as it is with parents. And the superb views across the rolling Wiltshire countryside are free.
