The Saracens Head in Bath is a charming traditional pub at the heart of the Roman town of Bath. Reputedly the oldest pub in the city.
"One of the oldest pubs in Bath, it has history from 1713. It was a previous coaching inn. Victorian author Charles Dickens stayed here when he was working at Bath in 1835. The pub name is an historic one in England. It originates with the Greeks with Romans, referring to the nomads of the Arabian Desert as a ‘Saracen’. It was a Moslem name during the Crusades. Some noble English families, who took part, tended to include a Saracen’s head as part of their coat of arms. From the Medieval period, publicans have used it as a pub name."
