A picturesque 18th-century free house that has as its neighbour across the road St Illtyd's church that claims to have the oldest yew trees in Wales. Legend has it that an underground passage links the pub to the church but it has not been found. Beneath the low beamed ceilings lie three cosy rooms giving the feel of a traditional country inn. The kitchen has been refurbished and it provides a range of bar meals and snacks. It's a welcome refreshment stop for those walking the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal that is within easy walking distance. The garden has children's play equipment while a letting cottage is available.
