| The Kings Arms Berkhamsted first appeared in our history books in 1716 and for two centuries was the focal point of Berkhamsted, bearing the arms not of a king but those of Queen Anne. Parish Constables met here to submit their accounts to the justices and it was also the site of the inaugural meeting for persons and property in 1794. Polly Page, the Inn Keepers daughter, is perhaps one of the most famous and colourful characters connected with this early eighteenth century inn, and it was a well known fact that "A quarter of an hour or so would be spent in the ostensible act of changing horses while the then exiled French King Louis XVII would flirt with fair Polly". The Arms were also a staging post on many a North Western route and ran its own coaches to London, having stables for some forty horses. It was in 1833 that a meeting of protest against the building of the railway was held, no doubt to the satisfaction of 'mine host' who more than any of his rivals, benefited from the coaching trade. Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort tarried a while at this old coaching inn, for the horses to be changed, and the Kings Arms proudly advertised that it was "The only Hotel in the country patronised by her most gracious Majesty the Queen". Berkhamsted Heritage Walk This short walk, which starts and ends at the railway station, takes you through the heart of the town so you can explore its historic waterway and its surrounding countryside. A guide to the walk is available from reception, most of the buildings referred to have blue plaques with numbers that correspond with entries in the guide. In The UK The Kings Arms Hotel is situated in the heart of Berkhamsted, in the south east corner of England. It's 30 miles north west of central London and within easy reach of the M1 (9 miles from Junction 8) and M25 (7 miles from Junction 20) motorways. The A41 runs just past the town centre. |
