The UK is currently enjoying an unusually hot summer.
From holding a good old fashioned to visiting an aqua park, there are plenty of ways you can enjoy yourself outside during the warm weather.
But we think there’s no better way to spend a sunny day than down by the water.
We’ve put together a list of some pubs and bars that overlook the water in Leicestershire where you can eat, drink and be merry.
Many of them run along the Grand Union Canal and River Soar, meaning you can take a scenic stroll along the water before rewarding yourself with a chilled pint and a bite to eat.
Here are some of pubs by the water to try in Leicestershire.
