Few things beat a leisurely lunch or an evening drink in a beautiful pub garden, especially on a warm Devon day. From clifftop terraces with sweeping sea views to cosy countryside inns beside rivers and rolling hills, these are our favourite pub gardens for relaxing, unwinding and making the most of Devon’s spectacular scenery.
Hidden deep within the beautiful Teign Valley on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, Fingle Bridge Inn enjoys one of Devon’s most idyllic settings. Its spacious riverside garden sits beside the River Teign, surrounded by ancient woodland and walking trails, making it the perfect place to unwind after exploring nearby Castle Drogo or the spectacular Dartmoor countryside.
Nestled in the peaceful village of Avonwick, just off the A38 between Plymouth and Totnes, Turtley Corn Mill is one of South Devon’s most beautiful garden pubs. Set within landscaped grounds with lakes, gardens and outdoor terraces, it’s a wonderful place to enjoy relaxed dining in picturesque surroundings. Whether you’re stopping for lunch, celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a drink in the sunshine, its spacious outdoor setting makes it a destination in its own right. The pub also offers boutique accommodation for those looking to extend their stay.
