It's the number one picture sharing platform in the UK and so if you're having a good pint in a Welsh pub, it's almost compulsory these days to put it on Instagram.

And new data released has given an idea of just what pubs in Wales people like to shout about on the social media site.

The app has become a mainstream essential of tourism life and snapping a picture of your latest escapade, in every location you visit, has become something of a must.

And if you want to visit some of the most-loved pubs in Wales this year, this list could help.

Here are the top 10 Welsh pubs which people have been posting most about...

Situated in the village of Porthdinllaen near Morfa Nefyn, Gwynedd, it's on the north coast of the Llyn Peninsula and with views across the Irish Sea to The Rivals AND a sandy beach on its doorstep it's not hard to see why it's first on the list.

2. Ten Mill Lane, Cardiff

verlooking the quayside in Aberaeron, the pub, restaurant and hotel fits in well with the equally colourful houses that surround the water. It's famous for its beautiful rooms and fantastic food.

10. The Bunch of Grapes, Pontypridd

It has food, wine and beer awards.

It may look from the outside like a humble boozer but inside is a different story with its sizable bar area, the pub's deli and a restaurant.
