Address: Church Ln, Whittlesford, Cambridge CB22 4NY
The Red Lion
The Red Lion is fictional but the building it is filmed in isn’t. It was actually the Windmill pub in Chipperfield. So if you fancy a Grantchester-style pint, head yourself two to the Windmill pub which is situated near Hemel Hempstead. It has a four-star TripAdvisor rating and sells a great selection of ales and lagers.
