Henley-in-Arden

Henley-in-Arden is a historic market town in Warwickshire, close to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa.

Henley-in-Arden has a small train station with trains to Birmingham and Stratford-Upon-Avon, approximately one per hour running into the early evening. The service is provided by Central Trains.

From the High Street it's a short walk to an ancient mount that was the site of a castle. You would never know that there was a castle there, but it looks rather unnatural.

• The Bluebell, www.bluebellhenley.co.uk. This was a traditional-style pub, but following a recent refurbishment probably now sits best in the eat category as most of the space has now been given over to tables so more suited to diners. A varied menu of modern European and gastro-pub English favourites.
