Cross Keys Inn, Historical pub in Combe Down, England
The Cross Keys Inn stands at a crossroads with squared rubble stone walls and Roman style tiles covering its traditional two-gabled structure.
Built in the early 18th century on former Bath Priory land, the inn received its first recorded mention in 1718 as a public house on Odwood Down.
This Grade II listed building represents the traditional function of English coaching inns, serving travelers on major routes between Bath, Bristol, Warminster, and Wells.
The establishment opens from noon until late evening, offering dining services in its restaurant section and maintaining full wheelchair accessibility throughout the premises.
Ralph Allen, the influential postmaster who shaped Georgian Bath's development, held the property lease from 1739 to 1760 during its early operational period.
