The Gwaelod-y-Garth Inn
(or just The Gwaelod as
the locals call it) is one of
South Wales’ premier country
inns just a few miles outside
Cardiff. It offers a relaxing mix
of real ales, home-cooked
food and convivial company.
Since being taken over by
new management, it has re-
established its rightful place
in the heart of the community.
The pub now has an on-
site brewery in Violet Cottage
Brewery or “The Brew with
a View” as it’s also known. It
produces a selection of beers
which are proving extremely
popular with the locals.
Whether you are looking for
somewhere for a quick pint
after work, a quiet meal or
a family celebration, The
Gwaelod is the perfect pub for
the occasion. Meaning ‘foot
of the mountain’ (Gwaelod-
y-Garth), The Gwaelod Inn
was originally part of the
Marquess of Bute’s estate
and it was recently nominated
as having some of the best
pub views in the country. It
is a much favoured watering
hole for ramblers, cyclists
and hang-gliders as well
as some colourful locals.
The Gwaelod-y-Garth Inn
is situated on the Taff-Ely
Ridgeway Path.
