The Dolphin, Canterbury

This uncluttered garden in St St Radigunds Street offers sun-worshippers the option of sitting on the grass to catch a few rays while supping on a bitter from one of the pub's various real ale pumps. Seating areas surround the main lawn.

The atmosphere is bustling without being crowded, meaning anyone lounging about can concentrate on their board game, which can be borrowed from the bar, to pass away the time on a lazy summer afternoon.

A fantastic find in the heart of the city.
