A charming and rural Nottinghamshire village with a picturesque pub attracts visitors from far and wide - and notable names to have visited include famous footballer, champion boxers and even King Charles. Situated in Wysall, on the Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire border, family-run pub The Plough dates back to the 17th century and was once used as a courthouse.
A traditional 19th century inn with low ceilings and wooden beams, the outside and the garden is awash with colour. Admired by the locals, it's also proves quite an attraction for outsiders, who, after driving down the A60, find themselves on a narrow, winding lane leading to the village, which has a few hundred residents and little else.
Pub landlady Pearl Edge, who took over The Plough with husband Michael more than 24 years ago, says a number of footballers have visited over the years. Other well-known punters include Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers, who used to manage Liverpool, Celtic and Swansea City before moving to the East Midlands.
