York. This beautiful timber framed building from the 15th century was originally a house, and it became a pub in the 1800s. It has a bread oven which the pub claims dates from the 13th century (?) and there is evidence of a priest hole. Legend has it that the notorious highwayman Dick Turpin once escaped through a window of the pub. I love the unique rounded bar with its stained glass that is the center of the pub and of course all the dark wood timbers. There is standing area around the bar and 4 rooms - 2 in front, 2 in back. Tasted 2 delicious beers - Jouster English Hopped Best Bitter from Goffs Brewery in Cheltenham and Mythicale from Rudgate Brewery in York. Then off to visit the grave of Dick Turpin.
