The Eight Bells

The Eight Bells is a village pub on Long Crendon’s High Street, among the timber-framed and brick-fronted buildings that make this Buckinghamshire village rewarding to explore. The Grade II-listed pub stands on a High Street where village inns were once at the centre of social life. Its position on the main street makes it an easy landmark on a walk past the village’s historic cottages and church. The best-known Midsomer role is Upper Warden’s local in A Tale of Two Hamlets; it also appears as the Florey Arms and as a pub exterior in Midsomer Malham.

Long Crendon’s lanes and historic High Street provide a fine backdrop for a short village visit, with the pub’s traditional frontage fitting naturally into the streetscape and village life. On screen, it reads as the familiar local where different fictional communities can meet. The visitor information below is the place to check current details before travelling.
