excerpt from North Wales "Wining and
Dining" (1968)
The inn is situated between Llanbedr and Llandyrnog
to the south of Bodfari about 5 miles from Denbigh
and 4 Miles from Ruthin, and is best approaches
along the B5429.
This 16th to 17th century inn is a fine old
oak beam structure, with a tidy whitewashed
exterior. Several years ago it was extended,
taking in what was at one time the village shop.
The bulding is thought to date back more than
400 years, but its history has been lost in
the dim and distant past.
This district is part of the lovely vale of
Clwyd, and here one finds some of the prettiest
scenery in Wales. For the sightseer, not too
far away is Ruthin Castle, and at Denbigh the
ruins of its castle.
Pony trekking is a popular pastime, and treks
are made daily from nearby Cilcain, passing
through beautiful Clwydian Range country.
The proprietors of the inn are only too pleased
to make arrangements for patrons to take part
in one of these pleasant journeys.
Meals are served at anytime, the speciality
of the house being farm cured Ham and fresh
farm Eggs. Sandwiches and other light refreshments
are always to be had and the inn stocks a good
variety of wines and spirits to suit all tastes.
There are two comfortable letting rooms and
one is assured a pleasant stay.
Hendrerwydd
Hendrerwydd is part of the Parish of Llangynhafal
whose most easterly point lies at the Jubilee Tower.
To walk the boundaries of the parish would involve
a journey of about twelve miles. As mentioned in
"North Wales Wining and Dining" the White Horse
Inn was extended to include the village shop several
years before 1968. Previous to this the shop and
inn were run by the same family.
