Henley-in-Arden is a historic market town of 2,100 people (2011) in Warwickshire. Henley is known for its variety of historic buildings, some of which date back to medieval times, and its wide variety of preserved architectural styles. The one-mile-long (1.6 km) High Street is a conservation area.
It is close to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa.
Henley-in-Arden is just off Junction 15 of the M40.
Henley-in-Arden station 📍 is a small station with trains to Birmingham and Stratford-Upon-Avon, approximately one per hour running into the early evening. The service is provided by Central Trains.
Bus service X20 runs from Coventry to Stratford-upon-Avon via Solihull through the town along the High Street, operating up to every 60 minutes.
From the High Street it's a short walk to an ancient mount that was the site of a castle. You would never know that there was a castle there, but it looks rather unnatural.
Although the castle no longer remains, several other historical buildings and structures still exist in the town, such as the parish churches of St. Nicholas and St. John the Baptist, the 15th-century Guildhall (which has been restored), the medieval market cross (much of the decoration of whose shaft has been mutilated but which has three ranges of kneeling places and sculptures representing the Holy Trinity, the crucifixion of Jesus, and, it is believed, St Peter), the 16th-century White Swan, and several half-timbered residences along High Street, the main street of the town.
