Country PubsCountry pub in the Vale

The Vale is blessed with traditional country pubs. For example, you can step back in time at the ‘Plough and Harrow’, tucked away near the coast in Monknash. The pub is an old Monastic Grange that dates back to 1383 and serves fresh locally sourced food and real ale.

 

A word of warning though…if you have a feeling that someone is sneakily taking a sip from your drink it may well be down to the presence of the pub’s ghost – spirits aren’t just found behind the bar here!
