As with the Bradford Arms in nearby Knockin, the pub's name stems from the fact that the Earl of Bradford owned much of the land hereabouts. The front room splits into a bar and lounge area, whilst to the rear, a large conservatory becomes the dining room. The old photographs of the locality and the wallpaper give a rather pub a rather pleasant retro feel. The current owner took over in 2007 and is a fount of local knowledge. There's a set of old-fashioned bedroom bells in the lounge, but it's not clear whether they're used to provide service.

Llanynynech is on a disused section of the Montgomery Canal, although a grant has been obtained to reopen it and build a marina just out of town.

Campervans are permitted to stay overnight in the pub carpark.

Historic Interest

The fact that the road and both pavements are in Wales has historically had financial implications for the pub. Although rates were paid to Shropshire County Council, the publican was also charged a nominal sum by Montgomeryshire County Council because the columns of the front porch rest on their territory (the fee was £1 per annum in 1949). Worse than that, during the dark days of no Sunday openings for Welsh pubs, he was forbidden to use this door for 52 days of the year. However his customers could be legally served on Sundays provided they entered via the English side entrance, so presumably he recouped the extra charge at the expense of his Welsh competitors across the road!
