Ant and Dec, fish and chips, the UK and the pub: some things simply go hand in hand with each other. And whilst the first two are pretty great, there are few things that beat the first sip of a crisp pint on a British summer’s day.

And what makes it even better? A stellar view. Across the UK, there are infinite pubs offering a range of pints, top-knotch food, and views which broadcast all the UK has to offer.

From rivers and lakes to coastal cliffs, rolling green hills and the seaside, these settings are quite special, and it can be hard to choose where to head to next.

As founder of the British Guild of Beer Writers, and judge for the Great British Pub Awards, I am well acquainted with the subject, so here is a guide to Britain’s best pubs with a view.
