The Ship Inn, High Street, Raglan, South Wales  Recently returned from the motherland of pubs and darts where we found this gem not far from Raglan Castle, definitely worth a visit if you are ever in South Wales.

                              

                                     The Ship Inn just up the street from
                                               The Crown Inn

While a good number of the pubs in the United Kingdom's cities are losing their dart boards and taking on franchise elements, many establishments with a more authentic feel still occupy the streets of towns throughout the UK countryside.  The Ship Inn has a large wood burning fireplace and a well placed dart board to the left of the entrance.  Enjoy tasty food as well as a wide variety of beer on tap - including several local brews - and cider.  If you are dining mid-afternoon as we were you can also delight to locals at the bar speaking the beautiful but totally indeciperable to an outsider language of Welsh.
