The White Hart Royal Hotel

Highlight • Pub

"The White Hart Royal Hotel in Moreton-in-Marsh, a splendid tapestry woven through centuries of English history. Nestled at the crossroads of the ancient Fosse Way and the route from London to Worcester, this famed inn has stood as a silent witness to the ebb and flow of time. Originally known as The White Hart, its most illustrious guest was none other than King Charles I, who sought refuge here twice during the English Civil War, in 1644 and 1645. These visits, once the stuff of local legend, were substantiated by a rare 17th-century diary discovered in the Huntington Library, confirming the monarch’s stays during those tumultuous times.

The inn’s prominence grew with the advent of the turnpike roads in the 18th century, becoming a vital coaching stop."

Moreton-in-Marsh market town

Highlight • Historical Site

A thriving market town in the Cotswolds, Moreton-in-Marsh still holds a market every Tuesday. The town has been hosting travellers for at least 1,700 years and many inns, pubs and hotels still welcome visitors today. Built from typical golden Cotswold stone, the town has a pretty 18th century high street and many historic buildings. You can even visit a pub where King Charles I sheltered during the English Civil war – the White Hart. They have a copy of his unpaid bill in the entrance lobby.

Coach & Horses Pub, Longborough

Located only one mile from the renowned Donnington Brewery this friendly family run, one-bar premises is the focal point of community activity in the village.

I didn't venture into the pub but as I passed it certainly seemed to be popular with early evening crowd. And the aroma's coming from the kitchen almost tempted me to abandon my walk and treat myself to dinner.
