The Carew Arms, Crowcombe, Somerset
Right in the middle of the pretty village of Crowcombe on the Quantock Hills, you'll find the Carew Arms, a rambling red sandstone 16th century inn with a big beer garden out the back where you can sit and reflect over a pint of local ale and admire the far reaching country views. It's all very rustic inside and out, which is what a lot of pubs are like around these parts; down to earth and honest with no pretensions, and the food will do you fine if you're about to set off on a walk or have just finished one.
There's plenty of parking at the front of the pub, or round the back in the car park, where you'll often see ponies tethered while people trekking in the hills make a stop off at the Carew Arms. Opening hours vary, dog friendly.
Open: Every day from 12 noon to late
