The Swan

Ley Hill, CHESHAM, HP5 1UT

A beautiful 16th-century pub set in the delightful village of Ley Hill, this was once where condemned prisoners would drink a 'last and final ale' on the way to the nearby gallows. During World War II, Glen Miller and Clark Gable cycled here for a pint from their base. These days, it is a free house offering a warm welcome, real ales and good food, plus a large inglenook fireplace and original beams. Potted shrimps; chicken and chorizo tagliatelle; and pan-fried calves' liver and bacon are typical choices. Look out for the Bank Holiday beer festival in August.
