It's wonderful to head out to a countryside pub for a cool drink on a sunny day - but for those without a car, public transport options are often quite limited in getting to some of the region's prettiest villages. But it's not something you have to worry about when heading to Mobberley in Cheshire - where there's a brilliant village pub right next to the train stop.
The Railway Inn (in a nod to its convenient location) has been widely acclaimed with both CAMRA beer awards in recent years, as well as with rave reviews from visitors on Tripadvisor.
Reviews from this year hail it as a "hidden gem" with its huge beer garden and brilliant play areas for kids. The pub also boasts its own bowling green.
