We were still a bit early for our appointed check-in time,
and we’d been recommended to visit a
local pub in the middle of nowhere, not
by our beer crew but by our travelling friends. Upon investigation, it was on
the guidebook circuit, but it wasn’t an easy place to get to so it was more
practical to call in on the way there. The pub sits next to the quay which forms
the car park, and its surrounding benches means that you can sit and watch the
tide come in as you sip your pint. It’s also an active spot for canoeists and
traffic watching as the locals come down to use the bridge. The building itself
is stone bare and worn, but inside is a beautiful tiled corridor decorated with
taxidermy and simple wooden chairs and tables leading to a traditional wooden Victorian
bar with a fireplace that hasn’t changed...ever. Good beer alongside the river with
friendly locals are the main attractions here.
