Premier Inn Aylesbury

Aylesbury is known for its rich history, particularly its role as the county town of Buckinghamshire. It’s also closely linked with the Paralympic movement, as Stoke Mandeville Hospital – just outside the town – is considered its birthplace. Culturally, Aylesbury has ties to music legends like David Bowie and Queen, and it was home to Duckula and Danger Mouse creator Cosgrove Hall. It also has a strong tradition of market trading, with markets still running regularly. 

Yes, Aylesbury makes a great base for a day trip or short break. The town blends history, green spaces and family attractions. You can visit the Roald Dahl Children's Gallery, explore historic sites like the King’s Head pub and enjoy scenic walks along the canal. Waddesdon Manor is just a short drive away, and there are regular local events and theatre performances at the Waterside Theatre. 

Aylesbury is well placed for exploring nearby towns and countryside. You’ve got Waddesdon Manor just outside town, plus the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is nearby for walking and cycling. Oxford, Bicester Village shopping outlet, and the historic market town of Thame are all within 30–40 minutes’ drive. Milton Keynes and the Cotswolds are also easy to reach for a day trip. 

What makes Aylesbury stand out is the mix of history, culture and countryside in one place. It's got medieval streets and coaching inns, modern shopping centres and entertainment, and a deep connection with both literary and medical history. Whether you're into heritage sites, theatre or family-friendly museums, there's something here to keep everyone busy. 

Aylesbury is one of the larger towns in Buckinghamshire, with a growing population and a lively town centre. While not a city, it has everything you’d expect from a busy hub – from shops and restaurants to parks and cultural venues. 

One of the top family attractions in Aylesbury is the Roald Dahl Children’s Gallery. It’s a fun and creative space where kids can explore science and imagination through the world of Roald Dahl. From crawling through Fantastic Mr Fox’s tunnel to experimenting like Willy Wonka, it’s a hands-on experience little ones will love. 

Yes, Waddesdon Manor is a must-see if you’re in the area. This impressive stately home is packed with history and set in stunning gardens. It’s great for a relaxed day out, with art, architecture and views for the adults, and a woodland playground and trails to keep the kids happy too. 

Set in the heart of Aylesbury, the 15th century King's Head is one of England's best preserved coaching inns. Stop for a drink and see the rare stained-glass windows and wooden beams, and when it’s sunny, sit in the cobbled courtyard. 

Yes, Aylesbury has a mainline train station right in the town centre. It’s served by Chiltern Railways, with regular trains running to London Marylebone and other stops like Amersham and Princes Risborough. There’s also a smaller station at Aylesbury Vale Parkway, ideal if you’re staying on the edge of town or heading into the countryside. 

Shopping in Aylesbury is a mix of high street favourites and independent stores. Friars Square and Hale Leys shopping centres are both centrally located, and there’s a regular outdoor market selling everything from food to homeware. You’ll also find quirky local shops and cafes dotted around the older parts of town.
