Website

This pub is adjacent to Whistle Inn Halt, the northern terminus of the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway. The Halt is 1307ft (398metres) above sea level and replaced the former Garn-yr-erw Halt which was a little further north. The pub has in the past had close associations with the railway, which closed to passenger traffic in 1941 and goods in 1954. Lots of old mining lamps on display in the bar area.

A large conservatory for diners has been added to an older traditional pub.

A rare outlet for Red Dragon's craft beer, here re-badged as Rail Ale. A range of chilled bottles is also available.

There are camping facilities on site, but note this is only for vehicles with no tents allowed.

Note Winter opening times may be reduced.

Information for this venue is provided by the Gwent Branch of CAMRA
