Two coastal pubs in Pembrokeshire have been named among the best places in the UK to enjoy a pint by the sea, according to a new list published by Big 7 Travel.
The Griffin Inn, located in the picturesque village of Dale, and The Druidstone, perched on the clifftops near Broad Haven, both secured spots in the top 10 of the travel site’s “25 Best Pubs for a Seaside Pint in the UK” — a list compiled using reader recommendations, editorial picks and online reviews.
The Griffin was praised for its fresh seafood, harbour views and laid-back atmosphere, while The Druidstone earned acclaim for its bohemian charm, dramatic coastal setting and locally sourced menu.
Other top-ranked pubs include Tŷ Coch Inn in Pwllheli, Old Neptune in Whitstable, and Harry’s Shack in Portstewart, Northern Ireland.
Big 7 Travel said the list was designed to help visitors make the most of the late summer sunshine, combining “sea air, salty chips and a cold one in hand” for the ultimate coastal experience.
