The Cross Keys, Swansea

One of the oldest buildings in Swansea located in St Mary Street and formed part of the hospital of the Blessed David of Sweys which was founded in 1332 during Edward III’s reign.  Following the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 by Henry VIII the building was granted to Sir George Herbert in 1547 and converted to an inn by the 17th century.  The twin gabled frontage dates to the early 1600s.

Poundffald Inn, Three Crosses

Michael Evans  oedd y tafarnwr trwyddedig ym 1850. Yr enw Cymraeg arni yw Pumffald a daw hwnnw o’r ffald anifeiliaid strae oedd gerllaw. Bu’r teulu Evans yn cadw’r lle am bron canrif.

Mae’r dafarn yn agos at y ffin rhwng y Gŵyr Cymreig â’r Gŵyr Seisnig – sylwer ar yr enw.

The Greyhound Inn, Oldwalls

Mae’r  Greyhound yn dyddio i’r 19eg ganrif ac wedi’i lleoli yng ngogledd Penrhyn Gŵyr, nepell o Langennydd a Llanrhidian. Y tafarnwr ym 1858 oedd Samuel  Phillips ac mae’n bur debyg mai tŷ preifat oedd y Greyhound cyn hyn. Daeth y lle’n boblogaidd â  theithwyr a chanddi enw da am danau mawr  a chrasboeth ym misoedd y gaeaf.  Mae hefyd yn boblogaidd â’r ffermwyr lleol.
