Is this the oldest pub in Britain?




MANY pubs in the UK lay claim to being the oldest in Britain, but there is only one that makes it into the Guinness Book of Records with that claim … it’s Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St Albans' Verulamium Park. 

The pub that is there today was built in the 11th century, but its foundations date back to approximately 790 AD.
