Our local: Good beer - try the "Butty Bach", plenty of sport on TV, if that is your scene and the food is also good value. 20 minutes walk there, but much quicker on the way back!

Sightseeing

Rather beautiful, hidden away cathedral with a peaceful feel. The seat of the Bishop of Swansea and Brecon. You might catch an art, or other exhibition, or try the Pilgrims tea rooms and restaurant.
