[edit] The Carne Arms
Dating back over 400 years the Carne Arms is a delightful old inn with open fires and a friendly cosy ambiance. Thought to have originally been part of the local Rectory its name is ancient and is derived from the Cornish "Carn" which means "rock". However, in this instance, the inn probably received its name in memory of a wealthy and influential local family rather than from the feature of the local landscape.
[edit] St. Tydfils Church
Friendly, all-age congregation worshipping in an ancient church with most unusual groundplan. Regular Sunday worship.
