Tafarn Y Plu, Llanystumdwy

Tafarn-y-Plu is worth a visit to see a pub with three small rooms last changed in the 1950s. A flat-roof extension was added in 1952 and the rear bar created. Previously the only public room was the small front bar and beer was served from the jug. Both bars have quarry-tiled floors and 1950s brick counters; the bar back in the rear bar also dates from the 1950s. On the left of the front door former living quarters are now a dining room. The gents' has old Twyford's Adamant urinals. The eminent statesman David Lloyd George was brought up in Llanystumdwy and returned here in retirement. His grave, designed by the noted Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis (of Portmeirion fame) stands adjacent to the village's Lloyd George Museum. Pub is busy when Llanystumdwy holds its week-long carnival in early July. Present owners support all things Welsh – on taking over they changed the pub name from the Feathers; and it holds conversational Welsh classes every Mon.
