Situated   under   the   eastern   ridge   of   the   Black   Mountains,   close   to   the   border   with Wales,   the   Carpenters   Arms   has   been   in   the   same   family   for   generations.   The three   hundred   year   old   pub   is   now   run   by   Vera   Watkins,   who   was   born   there   and has been the landlady since taking over from her mother forty years ago. A   warm   welcome   is   extended   to   customers   from   Vera,   her   family   and   staff.   The pub   remains   as   it   was   over   a   century   ago,   with   a   cosy   bar   which   is   well   stocked with   a   selection   of   real   ales   and   an   extensive   choice   of   local   ciders   from   both   sides of   the   border.   The   area   is   popular   with   holiday   makers   and   so   families,   cyclists   and walkers   are   all   equally   made   to   feel   at   home.   The   pub   also   attracts   many   people from   the   area,   who   return   time   and   time   again   to   sample   the   home   cooking   and   to enjoy a fireside chat with Vera.
