A sense of history...
The Swan in Thornbury is a beautiful listed building, which was the first original coach house in the town.
It was fully refurbished in September 2011, but still retains many of its original features and is definitely a ‘traditional local’.
Towards the back of the building we have the original flagstones where the horses were tied to the coach house. This area is Grade I listed, as is the front of the building, including the old windows where the coachmen were served. Come and have a look!
