Our long weekend on the South Wales coast gave the perfect opportunity to find some more pub walks in Wales to add to the MyFavouritePubWalks.com database. Although pubs seem to me to be thinner on the ground there than in rural areas of England, we still found a few gems that gave access to some great walks.
We started with a two and a half mile pub walk from the Plough and Harrow at Monknash which had plenty of interest with varied terrain, sea views, a dramatic cove, some old ruins and a nature reserve.
The Plough and Harrow itself is a very friendly traditional village pub that welcomes visitors as warmly as its regulars. Dating back to 1383, it is not much to look at from the outside but venture inside and you will find a very cosy interior - inglenook fireplaces, beams and heaps of history with tales of the “Wreckers of Wick” storing bodies in the bar ... so of course a number of ghosts are said to haunt the place! There are information leaflets on the tables with more details.
The food is of a high standard with good sized portions and main courses under £10. There is an emphasis on traditional dishes and the Welsh faggots went down a treat! It features in The Good Pub Guide 2008
and The Good Beer Guide 2008 and was voted Pub of the Year by CAMRA. It offers real ales and promotes Welsh breweries with a choice of 3 regular beers Hereford Pale Ale, Bass and Otley 01, plus 3 guest beers and a choice of 8 ciders.For the full details and directions please click on Plough and Harrow Pub Walk.
