Traditional Hospitality at The Travellers Rest

Of all the pubs in Caerphilly, The Travellers Rest is surely the best place to make the most of our weather (come rain or shine) - with a delicious meal, a thirst quenching drink and the cherished company of family and friends. Soak up the warmest of welcomes and explore some of the most popular pub food menus in South Wales. Try one of our hugely satisfying seasonal dishes with a glass of fine wine or sample a rewarding pint of our regularly changing and highly quaffable cask-conditioned real ales.

A Little Pub History

Although the town of Thornhill is a relatively modern area, The Travellers Rest dates back as far as the 1800's, records show it was granted its first license in 1864. Unlike many other pubs, The Travellers Rest remained open throughout the Second World War. Mr George Lightfoot ran it throughout the war and continued to do so until 1971.

Around The Area

The Travellers Rest is very much the chocolate box picture of a traditional British inn. Perched on Caerphilly Mountain at the foothills to the Welsh Valleys, there are spectacular views over Cardiff, and this is great walking country.
