Most of the timberwork in the pub is at least 300 years old and some may even be 500 years old. It is known that the heavy door across the passage was hung in 1647 and this original door still remains. The studded taproom door probably dates from the same period. With the possible exception of a toilet block built near the front of the pub it has remained totally unscarred by the hand of the improver. On winter night's customers sit around a roaring log fire in a Bath stone inglenook fireplace that has been said to conceal an even larger hearth of medieval origin. From a door within the inglenook there is the entrance to an old tunnel that links the hostelry with the church. This tunnel has been sealed for many years. It is also rumoured that a Ghost stalks the pub at night and many unexplained and strange happenings have been reported over the years. Believed to be a monk, locals who frequent the pub have sighted the ghost on many occasions, it is not known whether these sightings are for real or are enhanced by the consumption of several pints of the favourite tipple, traditional Cider. Today the Pack Horse Inn has a reputation for its good food, real ales, and traditional cider. Garth and Nikki Evans, the current landlords and their staff, offer a warm and friendly greeting to regulars and visitors alike and there is always to be heard amusing light hearted banter throughout the pub. A favourite destination for walkers, tourists and residents of the city of Bath the Packhorse Inn boasts one of the finest beer gardens in which to while away the sunshine hours of the long summer days.
