Pub's incredible hanging baskets gardeners will be jealous of (original) (raw)

The Compasses Inn is looking absolutely stunning this summer. The Surrey Hills pub located in the dainty village of Gomshall boasts the most beautiful hanging baskets any gardener would be jealous of.

The traditional local is adorned with plant pots brimming with vibrant colours in both the front and back garden. Motorists and walkers wandering by can see the beautiful blooms from the kerbside as they pass through the Surrey neighbourhood.

The rear garden is decked out with picnic tables and umbrellas, and it is a popular place to enjoy a refreshing pint after work or an alfresco meal with family. The River Tillingbourne runs directly through the pub garden offering customers a waterside view while they have a drink or bite to eat.
