First stop is at The Green Man, a pleasant, thatched roof pub in the village of Lavendon, part of the Old English group of pubs. Extensive menu plus a Value Menu. Close by is Carlton and Emmaus Village. This is a charity project where donated goods are offered for sale in a large emporium – selling bric-a-brac, furniture, boutique items, paintings, crockery, electrical goods and much more. There is also a Bistro offering a range of food and drinks. An interesting place to visit.
