Carreg Cennen Tearoom

Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog


Possibly the best castle tearoom anywhere. The farmer-owner's longhorn beef is on the menu in the form of cottage pie and beef salad, plus it serves warming cawl (traditional Welsh stew) and excellent homemade cakes. The location is an impressive converted barn that sits just below the castle.
