Traditional pub in heart of Christchurch

Ye Olde Gorge Inn is the oldest inn in town and the most talked about in Dorset, dating back six hundred years to medieval times.

The pub holds years of history, grey ladies - ghosts of women who die violently for the sake of love or through the heartless actions of a family member and sumugglers stories are still present within the walls and wooden floorboards. The Ye Olde George Inn is also a legendary hideaway for priests as it has hidden away within the roof, a priest hole.
