A LAKE District pub's beer garden has been named in the top five best in England.
To celebrate sunnier days, Big 7 Travel has released its annual list of The Best Beer Gardens in England.
And the Drunken Duck Inn, between Ambleside and Hawkshead, was listed as the fifth best.
The entry said: "With just eight precious outdoor tables, The Drunken Duck Inn won’t be winning any awards for size but it will for views.
"Set in a huge 400-year-old building in 60 private acres of rambling countryside, the inn offers glorious fell views that stretch out for miles.
"It’s a popular spot with walkers who hotfoot here after tackling the local peaks for brilliant beers brewed from the award-winning on-site microbrewery and a delicious daily changing menu. If you can’t face the walk home, there are 13 individually designed bedrooms to settle down into too."
