Aylesbury - the county town of Buckinghamshire, a lively market town steeped in history. Located at the foot of the Chiltern Hills and at the heart of the rich agricultural Vale of Aylesbury, a focal point in the English Civil War. As the popularity of the famous Aylesbury Duck grew in the 19th century, the town's livestock markets attracted visitors from far and wide. Nowadays, the award-winning Roald Dahl Children's Gallery set in the sleepy lanes of the Old Town, excellent town centre shopping including the thrice weekly markets in the historic cobbled square, and excellent new entertainment facilities provide the focus for visitors.
