Highlights
Coaching inn
Historic 15th-century coaching inn, in the heart of Aylesbury, with rare stained-glass windows, exposed wattle and daub and the original stabling.
Eating
The Farmers' Bar at the King's Head
Beautiful beams and wooden floors bedeck The Farmers’ Bar. They serve fine English ales, bottled beers, Rothschild wines and a hearty lunch. Choose your drink and retire to one of the comfy sofas or old wooden benches and when the sun is shining it is a must to sit out in the ancient cobbled courtyard surrounded on all sides by old stables, the Great Hall and the ancient arch where coaches used to enter.
