The Kent pub Zetland Arms opened back in 1863, and even has beers made by Sheperd Neame, the oldest in the country.

It's found on the shingle beach of Kingsdown Beach, so you can enjoy your glass of wine with your feet in the pebbles.

While the views of the sea are amazing, you can also see the White Cliffs of Dover - and even France on a clear day.

Famous visitors include The Saturday's Frankie Bridge, and it was used to film the ITV drama Liars.
