Crantock, North Cornwall. This thatched roof pub is over 400 years old. The village dates back to 460 AD when it was founded by Irish missionaries, including St. Carantoc. The village church has Norman features. The pub is named after the last man-o-war built on the nearby banks of the River Gannel. It has a history related to smuggling, with a tunnels and a smugglers hole (now blocked off) found under the blue stone fireplace in the lounge. Until a few years ago they drew its water from a deep well under the old bar. It was closed in 1874 after a Methodist campaign, and in 1902 part of the building was destroyed by fire. The interior has a small bar and 2 rooms in the front and a long bar and 2 larger rooms in the rear. Out in front of the pub is a seating area with picnic tables. My beer of choice was Sea Fury Special Bitter from Sharp's Brewery in nearby Rock.
