According to HistoryPoints http://historypoints.org/index.php?page=ye-olde-bull-inn-llanbedr this country pub dates from the late 17th century or early 18th. It may have replaced an even earlier hostelry on the site. The road which climbs past it was used by drovers to take livestock from the mountains to markets further east. The name is thought to relate to the bullocks which hauled carts over the upland tracks. Some were kept at a farm a little further uphill from the pub. The fields behind the Bull Inn hosted annual sheepdog trials on New Year's Day. Competitors came from as far away as Cumbria and North Yorkshire, until entries grew so large that the competition was restricted, in 1905, to North Wales. It is currently a J.W.Lees pub.
