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 way 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 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.
