Harrogate's Winter Gardens has been included on a list of five Wetherspoons that are 'worth travelling for.'

The list has been created by The Telegraph, who have branded it “one of Britain’s most elegant pubs.”

The Winter Gardens was included at number five on the list.

The Telegraph's Travel Writer Will Hawkes wrote:

“The Winter Gardens was where visitors were able to stroll amidst trees and plants when the Yorkshire weather wasn’t playing ball. 

“Pints have now replaced plants, making this one of Britain’s most elegant pubs. 

“The highlight is the sweeping bifurcated stone staircase that leads down from the main entrance into the bar.”

Also mentioned were Caley Picture House in Edinburgh, Hamilton Hall on Liverpool Street, Royal Victoria Pavilion in Ramsgate and Trent Bridge Inn in Nottingham.
