Thought by some to be the oldest pub in England it is in fact relatively 'new' compared to the actual oldest, which I believe is in St Albans, or the second oldest - The Eagle and Child (947 AD) in Stow on the Wold. This quirky pub is cut into the sandstone cliff beneath the castle near the city centre. The rear part of the pub is actually a series of caves. Car parking very limited. Although I've been there many times I've never felt comfortable and although they frequently change their real ales they were never better than average. A place to visit for the experience & to say you have been there. Somewhere near here, prince Edward (later Edward III) gained access to the castle via the caves & arrested Roger Mortimer.
