Amenities here
The famous Anchor Inn and its cellar with stalagmites [see photo
above] is conveniently next to the moorings - a few near the BW
waterpoint - others southwards through the bridgehole.
The pub
is probably unique - it was built on a drovers road long before the
canal, which after it was filled made the cellar damp - so much so it
had to be abandoned and the old ground floor bars converted to be the
new cellar and the upper floor bedrooms became the bars - an extra
floor being added for the landlords lodgings.
Guided tours by
the bar staff for the price of a beer!! Didn't try the food - as the
kitchen shuts at 8pm on Sundays but the portions of traditional pub
grub looked hearty and other customers said they were good. Friendly
relaxing pub in a charming tree shaded spot.
