Swansea, Wales. Known as Swansea's oldest pub. It was a hospice from the 1330 to 1540. In those days the priests are believed to have sold mead on site to sell in order to fund the hospice. The building was remodeled in the 1600s and was probably first an inn and later a pub. The name Cross Keys refers to the Christian martyr St. Peter. Crossed keys (sometimes with an inverted crucifix) is the symbol of the saint and refers to his holding the keys to heaven and his reported insistence to be crucified upside down as he felt unworthy of suffering the same fate as Jesus.

Another spacious Tudor style pub with high ceilings and lots of old wooden beams. And you have to love the Draig flag - seen in almost every Welsh pub. Guinness was my choice again - can't go wrong with it in Wales!
