Three very attractive places Dianne! The last one reminded me of a very special week that I once spent in Rye; it's a nice town.

All the history that goes with The George inn is interesting, and the "Britain's oldest tavern" made me smile, as I have been to another pub in Nottingham that makes a similar claim:-



"Ye Old Trip To Jerusalem" is built up hard against a cliff of rock, on top of which Nottingham Castle is located. The pub's strange name? Because it was where Crusaders used to muster before setting off for "The Holy Land".

I wonder how many "oldest pubs" Britain has?
