The White Hart
Address: 2 Prospect Place, Welwyn, Hertfordshire, AL6 9EN,
Tel: 01438-715353
The White Hart started life in the 17th century as a Coaching Inn; a rest stop and watering hole for travellers and horse teams alike.
Situated in the old Roman settlement of Welwyn, it served as a halfway house on the Great North Road between London and Cambridge, a route also famous for its highwaymen.
While the chances of being asked to stand and deliver have long gone, the offer of excellent food and drink and a comfortable room for a restful night's sleep still exist in abundance.
