So there you have them. Start up at Cwmffrwdoer, down to Pontnewynydd, in to town, then finish up in Pontymoil. About 2 to 3 miles and a seriously bad stomach and head the next day!

Unfortunately today many of these drinking establishments are long gone. Some new ones have replaced them such as the Comrades club, The British Legion, The Workingmen's club, Trevethin Club, for example. But the truth is there were more pubs in Pontypool last century than the number of shops we have here today!
