Any visitor to Pwlldu on being told that the only two buildings there were originally inns would, quite rightly wonder - why? They would be amazed to know that the inns actually thrived, but you Dear Reader, having taken a stroll down here and listened attentively to my every word will know the answer. Quarrying, breaking and loading limestone was backbreaking, thirsty work and don't let us forget those West Country sailors who plied the channel. The boats would come in on one tide and would be there until the next. What else could a sailor do? Pwlldu even had its own malthouse and both inns brewed their own beer.
