Dating from 1105, The Black Lion is said to be the oldest coaching inn in Wales. Originally known as a 'Grogg Shope', The Black Lion is an ideal stopping point for both visitors and locals. Inside the pub has three separate rooms - a dedicated restaurant, a relaxing coffee room and traditional bar with a real fire for the colder months.
