The Duke of Wellington, Danby, Yorkshire

The Duke of Wellington is an ivy-clad traditional eighteenth century inn located in Danby at the heart of the North York Moors and some 15 miles inland from the yorkshire seaside resort of Whitby. Built in 1732, the Inn was formerly known as the Red Briar and later the Lord Wellington and was used as a recruiting post during the Napoleonic Wars. A cast iron plaque of the famous first duke was unearthed during restoration work and can be seen above the fireplace in the main bar. Whilst the pub has moved into the 21st century it still maintains the character and charm of a traditional country inn.
