Average Rating:

The Skirrid claims to be Wales' oldest pub, steeped in history dating to Norman times. A Grade II listed building, interior and exterior have been left pretty much intact. Formerly a venue for public hangings, the "drop" is preserved in the stairwell. If stones could talk, what tales they would tell! We were made welcome immediately, chatting with staff and regulars like old friends. We passed on the rather pricey lunch menu, but shared a plate of whitebait with salad (and extra bread as we were sharing!) Decent range of beers, TV room in the back, restaurant, beer garden, no pool table; B&B available, but weekends are booked solid into the autumn. It's even signposted off the A465 - why drive past when you can call in here?
