Pub
The pub was built in 1824 by Job Salter as a house and brewery, it’s portico entrance and front terrace face south across the Salisbury plain
escarpment to the Westbury white horse. Just 2 hours from London by car or an hour and half by train it’s a stone’s throw from National Trust
landscape garden at Prior Park and 1.5 miles from the centre of Bath, the UNESCO world heritage site. The pub has a sweeping bar stocked with no
less than 12 local brews on draught, a fresh kitchen serving tip top tucker and artisan pizza, an open log fire, private dining room and eight
individually styled ensuite bedrooms.
Place
Bath needs no introduction, but did you know that Bath was built from stone mined in Combe Down? The King William was opened in 1824 to serve the community of mine workers that laboured beneath the surface to recover the buttery stone that makes our city so special. Just across the street from the pub, the museum of Bath Stone (link), built on the site of Ralph Allen’s yard, is a treasure trove of information and historical records detailing Combe Down’s Georgian past.
