Britain's oldest pubs: in pictures
Britain's oldest pubs: in pictures
Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, St Albans, Hertfordshire
This unusual, octagonal-shaped pub (it was once a pigeon house) claims to date all the way back to 973, though historians are sniffy about its claim to be Britain's oldest - the earliest license date we have for it is from the 18th century. It's still a charming place to visit, though, with low ceilings, and even an original bread oven next to one of the fireplaces.

(The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
