Ye Old Yew Tree Inn, Westbere

I'm really glad to see the Yew Tree is still going strong. I had temporary "brain fade" trying to remember the name (it's been 31 years since I was last there), but I recalled something of local legend that placed Dick Turpin in this venerable establishment. The Law had tracked him there, and his subsequent escape involved jumping from one of the upstairs windows.

As I recall, they have outdoor seating at the rear that opens on a wonderful garden -- hope it's still in use.
