The Hay Loader Wheels

Our new logo taps into the heritage and history of the village and pub. The wheels to the front of the pub are from the 18th century and part of the great British agricultural revolution. We cherish these wheels as a part of our traditional 17th century build, being the only survivor of four taverns that existed in the village in the early 1800s.

Accomplishments

We are incredibly grateful to be awarded the county winner of 'The National Pub & Bar Award' for the 6th year in a row. None of which would be possible without our amazing team.

Late 17th Century

Britannia Inn

This picturesque Pub is situated in the heart of the village of Llanmadoc. This delightful village is on the north western tip of the Gower Peninsula (the first place to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

The Britannia is a well preserved late 17th Century Inn. The beams in the lounge of the Britannia Inn are reputed to be from shipwrecks which were “lanterned” ashore by wreckers for their valuable cargo. The pub still has its original fireplace and bread oven. In addition in parts of the pub one can still see the original gas lamps.

The Britannia is the only survivor of four taverns that existed in the village in the early 1800s. At this time Llanmadoc was a busy little port when Cheriton Pill was navigable.

There are a number of interesting sites close to the Inn:

The village of Llanmadoc is said to be named after the 6th Century church of St Madoc. The Church was later rebuilt in the 1800s. .

Close by in the village of Cheriton is St Cadoc a 13th Century medieval church with a wagon roof. This is the smallest church on Gower.

Weobley Castle, a fortified manor house, was built by the de la Bere family in the 14th Century. It is about 3 miles from the Inn.

Whiteford Lighthouse is the only sea washed cast iron lighthouse in the UK. The lighthouse can be reached by a walk across the beach and dunes.
