THREE South Wales pubs boast the best beer gardens in the UK according to nightlife comparison site Design My Night.

The Pod in Newport, BrewStone, Swansea and Brewhouse and Kitchen, Cardiff, have been named among Design My Night's top 50 Best Beer Gardens In The UK. 

The top 50 list comes as we enter spring, the days begin to get longer and we start to see more sunshine - the ideal conditions for a pint or two in a picturesque beer garden.

Describing the best beer garden's list, the Design My Night website said: "The UK's cobbled corners and vast green landscapes aren't its only treasures.

"Bringing you beaut boozers up and down the country, we're filling this list with all things special about the UK beer garden.

"From stunning views and secret spots to crisp cold pints in the sunshine, we're celebrating what it means to have a drink outside."
