Travellers Rest Inn

Travellers Rest Inn is a Grade II listed pub and inn located on Caerphilly Mountain in Wales. The property sits at an elevation of 221 meters and offers views across the surrounding area and access to walking routes nearby.

The property received its first operating license in 1864 and served as an establishment on the mountain. During World War II it remained in operation under the management of George Lightfoot until 1971.

The building preserves traditional elements like open fireplaces and shows Welsh craftsmanship from the 19th century. Visitors can still see these details when walking through the rooms.

The property is located about one and a half kilometers from the town center and is reachable via walking paths. Visitors should wear good shoes as the terrain is hilly and offers views along the way.

The establishment serves as a popular starting point for walks to the nearby ruins of Morgraig Castle. From there walkers can explore the mountain landscape and visit historic sites in the area.
