19/01/25 - The Talbot at Knightwick

You Know Everything, Jon Snow

A grim, murky day to be completing a figure of 8 walk, where the apex of the walk is the pub. Temptation to call the whole thing off half way through was intense.

So, the photos are not great. The walking was pleasant enough - along the River Teme before an attack on Ankerdine Hill.  Drop down to the pub, cross the river and then follow the Worcestershire Way for a climb over round hill.

The only thing of architectural interest was the small chapel at Knightwick. Even that was doors locked, so impossible to investigate internally.

A Mortuary Chapel

This leaves the pub. The Talbot is a grand C14th Coaching house that houses its own brewery. Strangely not in the Good Beer Guide. You would consider it a shoe-in. The three main beers are This, That and T'other - with That being my preferred style of English Bitter.

Kit Harrington - Jon Snow in Game of Thrones - both worked here, and if you believe the Birmingham Live - is still a patron.

With a superb roaring fire that can take tree trunks - it certainly has a medieval feel to the place.
