A Butcombe Tied House in Worcestershire
A British Pubs Facebook post alerted me to the surprising news that there's a Butcome tied house in Worcestershire.
The Hadley Green Bowling Inn.
Featured in my 1960s Historic Pubs of Interest book. An Elizabethan farmhouse with links to the Gunpowder Plot and possibly the oldest bowling green in the country.

A suitable walk was found on Komoot. Agricultural Worcestershire, a contender for the lowest lying trig point at 70m and the Worcester-Birmingham Canal. A new walking activity has been born - logging trig points.

A towpath closure led to a slightly shorter walk than planned. The pub a civilised 11:30am opener.
A smart gastro-pub, with an unused snug and main dining room/bar. The Butcombe Original was in such good shape that I downloaded the loyalty app. £20 off drinks on my birthday and 25% of food on any Wednesday.
I have already plotted a walk from home that takes in the very different Fruiterers Arms.
