See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

With a claim to being Wales' oldest and most haunted pub, it sits near the base of Skirrid Fawr. Its origins date back to the early 12th century although the present building is dated much later from the mid to late 17th century. A cobbled forecourt leads to an interior where much old stone and woodwork is in evidence. Look for the pwca cup above the fireplace which is filled every night and put out to ward off the Devil. It is thought more than 180 people were hanged in the stairwell when the pub was used as a courthouse - the stairwell is passed as you go to the ladies toilet! There are many ghost stories associated with the building including one of a Fanny Price who has been haunting the place since the 1800's. The landlord will be pleased to give the curious a guided tour. The Skirrid has a good reputation for its food offering.
