And if you're old enough, there was an advert on the TV with the ditty:
"Coates comes up from Somerset Where the Cyder Apples Grow"

Hi Geoff

BTW I've yet to install the route (time and a current project being the reason) so does it feature any identifiable pubs?
Geoff

The Royal Oak at Twerton sits proudly next to the bridge at Bath Junction. Many happy hours spent there, supping and trying to play darts . Not sure if its still a pub. Most of my old locals had gone when i left the UK 4 years ago.

Was closed for a few years but in recent years completely refurbished, converted to real ales these days though - an oasis in a beer desert!

Worryingly that website has not been updated for nearly 2 years, so I fear it might have gone under again.......

Aint this place is it?

[casperdog]

Hi no !!!! That is the famous (in Bath anyway) 'Twerton Arch' renowned for catching bus drivers that forgot they were driving double deckers and took the top deck off .

Aint this place is it?

Totally off topic. Full Moon, Crown, Seven Stars, Golden Fleece,Royal Oak, Belvoir, two pubs at Brougham Hayes whose names i forget, Green Tree,and now a long walk to the Midland (a glorious pub opposite Bath Green Park full of old photographs and memorobilia?).
I know that one has changed due to a Weatherspoons close by
On the way home now. Kings Head, three pubs i forget the names of, Westhall, Windsor Castle and wobble accross Windsor Bridge (then only a footbidge, not a 3 lane road) back to the Royal Oak. Only another 4 visits and i'm home.

So thats 22 pubs in a 3 mile walk (stagger). How many still stand or are making money?

Probably more bars here per square 100 metres but not quite the same quality

Pretty sure the Full Moon is still open, I pass it every day at 90mph on a Cardiff-Portsmouth service
