| Take the A or B to Cardiff from Caerphilly Bus Station and get off here. | Take the right just ahead. | |
 |
 |
|
| Head down the hill. | Pass the signs. | |
 |
 |
|
| A little welcome shade. | About 15 minutes from the Bus stop. | |
 |
 |
|
| The entrance to the car park. | And the pub itself. | |
 |
 |
|
| The bar. Free WiFi. | Hops hanging from the ceiling | |
 |
 |
|
| Cwtch – Tiny Rebel. | Castell Coch – Celt Experience. Brewed just down the hill. | |
 |
 |
|
| Silures – Celt Experience. Note the Black Cock picture in the Pump Clip. | Good food. Caerphilly Curry and Chips. |
