With the suggestion that the sunny weather is (hopefully) here to stay - we have pieced together five beer gardens in County Durham to visit. As soon as the sun comes out, people normally flock to their local pub to enjoy a drink outside - and with these five pubs, you won't be disappointed. Five of the best beer gardens across County Durham: Half Moon Inn 86 New Elvet, Durham, DH1 3AQ The Half Moon Inn is a traditional pub in the heart of Durham City.
If you're looking for historic - look no further because it's a Grade I listed building with many original features. The fireplace and back bar were put in in 1905. However, alongside its heritage, it has a great outside area that people can enjoy the sun in while having a drink from the bar area.
And it seems like people on TripAdvisor can't get enough of this pub's beer garden. One person said: "We visited on a lovely sunny day after hearing great things about the beer garden, and it doesn't disappoint. It has screens, seating enough for plenty of people, and it's kept well clean and tidy.
We will be coming back, and even if it's cold there are heaters and the inside is just as amazing." The Woodman Inn 23 Gilesgate, Durham, DH1 1QW Another pub bang in the centre of Durham City - The Woodman Inn is a great spot for enjoying a drink outside. This traditional-style pub serves a selection of lagers and three real ales and has a great selection of spirits including gins and malt whiskies.
With a pool table, dart board and various.
