1 of 11
There are few finer things in life than sitting in a pub garden, the sun beating down, supping an ice-cold drink or two. And with so many pubs boasting brilliant beer gardens these days, the UK drinker is spoilt for choice. But where are the very best places to go when the sun's out? MSN dons its sunglasses, slaps on the factor 25 and finds out...

Yet again another useless set of information for someone who lives anywhere north of London....
I live in lancashire and there are a couple of amazing pubs with fantastic beer gardens looking over the ribble valley.
But once again your researchers have their Southern tinted glasses on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stefan,
It's hard to take this seriously when every entry bar one is in the South. Did someone send you a little picky of the other one so it looks like you have done some research. There are 100's of pubs in between your selections that would merit consideration.
This is really lazy rubbish, I sincerely hope you are on a YTS.
What would I know, I live near Birmingham so that makes me only a humble coal miner / factory worker
Perhaps whoever researched this should actually turn off the computer, get out of the office and go for a tour round the UK - only then would they be qualified to decide which pubs have the most spectacular view !!!
I agree these look very nice - but there is more to the UK than the home counties
AND ANOTHER THING, MSN WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU TOURED THE COUNTRY,? LOOKING AT BEER GARDENS, NO WAY WHAT A LIE, YOU DO NOT EXPECT US TO BELIEVE YOU WENT AS FAR AS WESTER ROSS, AND NOWHERE INBETWEEN RUBBISH, WHO WOULD WASTE ALL THE TIME AND MONEY JUST TO GO THERE AND BACK FOR A REVIEW.
WHAT ABOUT, YORKSHIRE, NORTHUMBERLAND, THE BORDERS, EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, PERTH INVERNESS, ABERDEEN, AND ALL THE COASTAL TOWNS, ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
IN SAYING COUNTRY, YOU MISSED ALL OF IT YOU LONDONERS, THAT BIT OF THE MAP YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO FORGET, YES, WALES, WHAT BEAUTIFULL COUNTRY, AND BEER GARDENS TO DIE FOR, NOT FORGETTING IRELAND, MYSTICAL, AND BREATHTAKING.
SO IF YOU WANT A TRUE REVIEW OF THE BEER GARDENS OF BRITAIN AND IRELAND, AND WALES, AND SCOTLAND, AND NORTHUMBERLAND, IN FACT ANYWHERE BUT LONDON.
I CHALLENGE YOU TO GIVE ME THE JOB.
WHAT DO YOU SAY MSN, ( TO SCARED EH )
