The beer garden with the fantastic view, Staffordshire
This has to be the 'best view from a beer garden' in the county. Totally stunning on a clear day, and worth the winding lanes to get here.

Busy small market town on the edge of the moors and with a somewhat quaint feel and atmosphere.
Impossible to get a good photo of this imposing viewpoint on the moors when a cloud was theatening to swallow us up! But unbeatable for a breath of fresh air and a picnic, or just a stroll with the...
This is a wonderfully busy little market town, with a number of cafes as well as dog-friendly pubs and a thriving atmosphere. I'd not heard of it before, but what a great place for a weekend away.
Good choice here of a recreation ground for kids, and a dog walk on a bridleway to the side of the rec. The dog-friendly country inn has loads more space than you'd guess from the outside.
A rather good country dining pub with a roomy car park and easy access from the A11. Dogs are welcome and there's a really long dog walk for very energetic hounds. You don't have to do all of it!
A friendly and helpful Free House with draught cider and roaring fires in winter. Covered seating outside and garden tables.
The building here is almost ridiculously old, they've been pulling pints for over 600 years or so. Dogs are welcome and it's worth a visit to admire the woodwork alone!
Rather a nice dog-friendly pub where you can sit on the green and watch the world go by if the weather's fine. Kids have a play area by the pond, within easy reach of the tables.
A fine pub dating back to the late 1400s. It's just off the main road and dogs are given a huge amount of fuss by the friendly staff and locals.
A small Lakes town with independent shops and several dog-friendly pubs and cafes.
A real oasis of calm amidst the crowds of Grasmere. It does get busy on sunny days, but the extensive private grounds are a welcome break from the throngs of trippers in the town.
