Some of our favourite beer gardens in East Lancashire

We have a great selection of beer gardens but here are some of our favourites where you can take in beautiful views of the East Lancashire countryside while enjoying a refreshing drink.

Aspinall Arms in Mitton

The Aspinall Arms is a coaching inn believed to date from the 17th century, and was originally known as the Mitton Boat.

With terraced and landscaped gardens outside, and flagged floors and open fires inside, it's just the pub for walkers, cyclists and anglers.

Grey Mare in Belthorn

Arguably, one of the most popular food pubs in East Lancashire, the Grey Mare is a popular destination for couples, families and parties.

The Grey Mare is one of the highest pubs in England, and on a clear day, you can see as far as the Ribble Estuary, the coast and Blackpool Tower.
