Larkhall Crawl, starting at the Bladuds Head
A crawl of Larkhall, Bath, starting at the Bladud's Head, then on to the Rose and Crown and the Larkhall Inn.
The Bladud's is a friendly traditional local pub built in 1858 with separate public and lounge bars (that were originally two pubs next door to each other).
The Rose and Crown is Cosy, welcoming, local which has been a pub since 1840s. Refurbished in Jan 2016 and taken over by local pub company Banwell House, the pub now has a very smart and comfortable feeling about it. There is a central bar, with drinkers seating at the front of the pub, and there are rooms going round the back for eating and relaxing. Two or maybe three ales with a traditional style cider.
The Larkhall Inn is a very old village inn with a superb garden and a historic interior. A lively community local acting as a base for many clubs with an impressive array of trophies above the bar. A small intact vestibule entrance with quarry tiled floor leads to a largish public bar. To the left of the entrance, there is a lower level small room has a wood block floor, panelling to two-thirds height with wall benches attached.
