Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is perhaps the oldest pub in England, dating from around 793. Located in St Albans, on the way from St Albans Cathedral to the Verulamium Park, beside the River Ver. There is a legend about tunnels running between the cathedral and the pub once used by monks. Nowadays there are not cocks fighting outdoors, but wild and fatty ducks running around, old and twisted oaks, and bright and beautiful swans going up and down the river. Indoors there is a half-light, even heavy, but cosy atmosphere where you can enjoy a beer by the fireplace. At the "Fighting Cocks" you can really taste and smell in olden days.
