Llandoger Trow, Historic pub in King Street, Bristol, United Kingdom
Llandoger Trow is a timber-framed building with three remaining gables and an 18th-century shop front near the old dockside in Bristol. The interior features exposed wooden beams, narrow staircases, and several smaller rooms spread across three floors.
The building opened in 1664 as an inn for merchants and sailors in the dockside district. It survived World War II bombings and gained protected status in 1959 as a structure of special historic interest.
A wood-paneled drinking room with low beams recalls the era when sailors and merchants gathered here to discuss trade. Today visitors come to drink in one of the oldest taverns in the city and enjoy views toward the former dockside.
The entrance sits on a narrow lane near the waterfront and is easy to miss if passing for the first time. Rooms are spread across multiple levels with tight staircases, making access difficult for wheelchair users.
The name comes from the Welsh village of Llandogo, where flat-bottomed river boats called trows were built to carry goods between Wales and Bristol. These boats docked right outside the inn and brought timber, coal, and other cargo to the port.
