The Duke of Wellington is traditional stone built double fronted pub steeped in history, it is situated in the Welsh village of Acrefair which lies in the scenic vale of Llangollen and makes up part of the bustling county of Wrexham. The pub is just off the A539 which is the busy road connecting Wrexham with Llangollen. Acrefair is a village in Wrexham County Borough, north-east Wales, in the community of Cefn. It was formerly part of the ancient parish of Ruabon, and is located between Wrexham and Llangollen. It is close to the villages of Trevor, Cefn Mawr, Ruabon and Plas Madoc. The name Acrefair originates from the Welsh word for acres—acrau, or acre in the local Welsh dialect—and Mair, the Welsh name for Mary. The English meaning of Acrefair is Mary's Acres. The pub benefits from being just a stone’s throw from the Pontcysylte aqueduct which attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Pub Layout
As expected from the nature of this periodic pub the inside has a traditional and welcoming feel. The bar has a good range of products including cask ales which are very popular with the locals. There is scope to develop the product range in line with current market trends including developing a more vibrant spirit range. The front of the pub has two snug rooms which collectively seat around 40 diners/ drinkers, the cosy log fire is a welcome
addition to the character of this pub. The fixtures and fittings are an eclectic mix of both loose and fixed and are in keeping with the current style of the pub. Towards the rear of the pub is the ladies toilets which lead onto a paved patio area which has a small, covered smoking solution with seating, this area also has an outbuilding where in keeping with the tradition of the building, houses the gents’ toilets.
There is a side secondary beer garden. At the front of the pub there is parking for cars and camper vans, although given its location most locals enjoy a leisurely walk to and from the pub. The front beer garden is a real asset able to seat up to 140 guests, this grassed area could easily be transformed for events and is a real sun trap during those summer months.
