A coaching inn that is the highest pub in Wales has gone on the market.

The pub - between Denbigh and Pentrefoelas - dates back to the 17th century.

It has now come on the market with Cavendish Estate Agents who said the site closed back in October and is now vacant.

The pub has a guide price of £600,000 and the agent said there is the potential to develop a glamping offer on land there, subject to planning.

The agent's listing said: "An iconic coaching inn dating from the 17th century in a very prominent position on the Denbigh Moors between Denbigh and the A5 at Pentrefoelas.

"The Sportsmans Arms is a very well known Inn to many, standing on a well known tourist route into the heart of North Wales towards Betws-y-Coed, and also the nearby Brenig and Alwen Reservoirs noted for numerous country walks, cycle tracks and renowned fishing in the Brenig.

"The building is vacant and offered for sale freehold and free of any tie."

The pub includes five bedrooms on the first floor and a three bedroom self-contained annexe.

They added that there was a rear yard, outbuildings and a large paddock to the rear and one side, "an ideal venue for a range of activities such as glamping pods, subject to consent".
