MANY pubs across Gwent are currently on the market and ready to take on new landlords.

Here at the Argus, we love a good pub, so we have compiled a list all of the boozers in Gwent currently up for sale.

Having originally closed down in 2018, this former pub has been left empty and unused for the last five years.

Most recently, plans were submitted in August 2021 by Hub Enterprises to demolish the site and turn it into three cottages, but in January 2022, these plans were thrown out following local backlash.

Since then, there have been discussions about potentially using the space as a community hub, but nothing official has materialised.
