Attractive 17th century coaching inn. A black cloud looms overhead, but in fact there were no more than a few spots of rain. The name commemorates the Bedfordshire connection with muntjac deer, a far eastern species, brought to Woburn Park by the Duke of Bedford in the 19th century. Following an escape, these small deer (sometimes called 'barking deer') have spread across southern England as far west as the Welsh border and north to Derbyshire.
