Castell y Bwlch (meaning Buck's Castle) is a pleasant country inn on the outskirts of Cwmbran giving lovely views towards Twmbarlwm (aka "The Twmp") and surrounding countryside. The cosy and attractive interior consists of several linked sections, including one corner reminiscent of a traditional public bar, arrayed around a central bar. The garden and adjoining patio are quite impressive and ideal for outdoor dining and drinking in fine weather. Back in the day some well known Welsh stars like Max Boyce, Chris Needs and Owen Money have provided entertainment here. These days it majors on food offering a tasty range of dishes with weekly specials at certain times; Sunday lunch served from 12-4.30pm. Real ale appears in the form of two ever-changing guest ales from reputable breweries from around the country.
