Turf Tavern

Turf Tavern is one of the most famous and historic pubs in Oxford, operating continuously since 1381.

Tucked away in a narrow cul-de-sac of St. Helen's Passage, this unique establishment is delightful with its low, beamed ceilings, uneven floors and unique atmosphere.

A beer garden surrounded by the city's old walls adds to the charm of the place, which, according to legend, is haunted by the ghost of Old Rosie, a girl who threw herself into the moat in despair after losing her beloved during the English Civil War.
