King's Head Hotel, AylesburyThe King's Head Hotel is a historic coaching inn with royal associations. The inn dates to the mid 15th century, and it was here that Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou spent a part of their honeymoon, a fact which is commemorated in the stained glass of the mullioned front window. Later, Henry VIII visited the King's Head while he was wooing Anne Boleyn. Oliver Cromwell is also believed to have used the inn as a base of operations during the English Civil War. There is a large cobbled yard in the courtyard of the inn, which has recently undergone extensive restoration, and visitors can enjoy refreshments in the restaurant.
