A UK pub-goer claims to have found the country's best beer garden - and it's hard to argue against them.

There are several very impressive beach pubs in the UK, all worth a visit during the warm summer months.

However, The Victoria Inn in Borth, Wales could be the best of them.

Out the back of the pub is a two-layered decking system, offering plenty of space for those who want to look out at the sea with their pints and bar snacks.

However, it doesn't have to be a sunny day to enjoy a drink in the Victoria, with three indoor bars making it a decent place for a pint any time of the year.

However, dogs are far from the only wildlife that can be seen at Borth Beach, with dolphins frequently filmed swimming off the coast.

The nearby shared a video of the sea animals last summer from the very beach the pub overlooks.

That's because Borth beach is part of Cardigan Bay, a large inlet of the Irish Sea, and the best place in Europe to see dolphins.

That's according to who wrote: "The stunning coastline of Cardigan Bay has the largest population of dolphins in Europe and is the best place to spot one.

"It boasts more than 60 miles (96km) of coast, 30 beaches and a bottle nosed dolphin population of more than 250."
