Henley in Arden Tourist Information

Do you want to eat or have a drink at a 16th century coaching inn or in a 15th century timber framed building? Then, come to Henley-in-Arden!

Would you like to walk in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside where a 12th century motte and bailey castle used to be? Then Henley is the place for you.

How about walking the one mile picturesque High Street where you will find shops, antiques, restaurants, wine bars, pubs, coffee bars and all the time be surrounded by buildings covering every period in history going back to medieval times? There you will also find the famous Henley Ice Cream Parlour and our Heritage Centre and the 1448 St. John the Baptist Church.
