10 best smugglers' pubs

For happy campers

The Smugglers Inn, near Weymouth, Dorset 

In a valley between Osmington Mills and the sea, close to the South West Coast Path, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, is this pretty, 13th-century thatched pub. In the 1790s it was home to Pierre Latour, the French leader of a notorious band of outlaws. Painted on the wall outside is Rudyard Kipling's A Smuggler's Song: ‘brandy for the parson/'baccy for the clerk/laces for a lady/letters for a spy/and watch the wall, my darling, while the smugglers go by'. Open daily; Sunday 12-10.30pm (01305 833125).
