In a list created by The Telegraph, they highlighted the market towns that are “quintessentially British” and “offer something different”.
Adding: “They[market towns] are big enough for a leisurely mooch, but not so large you’ll get lost or overwhelmed; they are great for happy diversions, a dose of local history, inevitably tea and cake, and likely some good shopping, too.”
Among the list of 12 named market towns is Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire.

Sharing why Beaconsfield made the list, The Telegraph highlights one of the market town’s pubs with The Royal Standard.
Explaning: “Beaconsfield’s Royal Standard is one of the country’s most venerable pubs, a place of well-worn flagstones that has been serving for 900 years.
“It’s said the Candle Room is haunted by a Cavalier, and Civil War drumbeats echo in the car park.
“Beaconsfield Old Town also has an attractive high street, the first Michelin-starred Indian chef (Atul Kochhar at Riwaz) and, brilliantly, the world’s oldest model village.”
The Royal Standard website shares that the pub offers “peace” to all visitors, adding that they offer “refreshing pints of golden ale rest easily on wooden tables, and are sipped gently as they have been for generations”.
Away from the town’s famous pub, Beaconsfield Old Town is one of the most historic areas of Buckinghamshire, best known for its Georgian and Tudor architecture.
