Best pubs near by
In the 19th century Lady Llanover, who thoroughly disapproved of alcohol, brought all the pubs in Llanover, turning them into houses. However, the Goose and Cuckoo, above the canal was beyond her reach. Fortunately there are several excellent pubs in the surrounding area.
The closest pub to Llanover. It is full of character, real fire, delicious food and excellent selection of local beer, spirits. Wonderful views. A good uphill walk, even better downhill
