Capel Hotel

Pub originally built by Phillips Brewery of Newport and named after John Capel Hanbury, the Pontypool ironmaster. It is located a short walk up the hill from Gilfach Fargoed rail halt and is served by bus services from Bargoed, Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly and Newport, which stop outside. The interior is of a classic early 20th century design. Most of the multi-room layout is intact including a dark wooden carved bar counter, giving a real glimpse of the past.
