Aylesbury
The County Town of Buckinghamshire
Sheltered by the Chiltern Hills, and a town of surprising contrasts. The market, a part of Aylesbury life since the 13th Century, is now complimented by other traditional and more modern shopping
areas.Â

The charming conservation area around St Mary's Church lies in sleepy lanes and cottages above the town. Around every corner is a tale - Henry VIII reputedly wooed Anne Boleyn
at the Kings Head, Roald Dahl invented his classic children's tales in the Aylesbury area, and his imagination is now celebrated in the towns award winning County Museum. In
the cobbled Market Square stands the imposing figure of John Hampden, a local hero and a key figure in the defeat of the Royalists in the English Civil War.

The Exchange is home to Aylesbury's main leisure and entertainment facilities, all conveniently in the heart of the town. In the Exchange are a number of new and exciting bars and clubs as
well as a multiplex cinema. These attractions ideally complement the programme of live entertainment at the Civic Centre.
