With the summer fast approaching and evenings lengthening, many of us will be flocking to our local pub to enjoy the sun and a drink with friends. Enjoytravel.com has revealed the UK’s best pub gardens – Is your local on the list?
The list is topped by Lake View Garden Bar in Bowness-on-Windermere. With an elevated beer garden, it overlooks the Lake District’s largest lake and promises “pub grub, cool drinks, and amazing views”. Enjoytravel.com also says it’s a great spot to “watch life go by” and maybe even spot some birds of prey and the odd fish. Visitors have called it “a great little bar with a location that’s hard to beat” and “absolutely amazing”.
The Treehouse in Alnwick comes in second. This “fairytale-style” pub sits in a canopy among the trees, lit by fairy lights, and offers views of the castle and the gardens.
And in third is the Fortune of War in Brighton. Enjoytravel.com described it as an “iconic” beachfront pub with views of the promenade and sunset. It also hosts reggae nights, jazz sessions, and DJ events.
The website also made a top 30 list that includes The Oast House in Manchester, Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich, The Potting Shed in Crudwell, and The Dores Inn in Inverness.
