Saffron Walden

From the local area the coach will head to Saffron Walden. The drop off point will be on Common Hill, this is a short walk from the town centre. The driver will advise you of your expected arrival time after they have left their last local departure point. You will be at leisure in the resort until your departure time of 16.00hrs when we will head back to the local area.

Saffron Walden is a delightful medieval town with a rich heritage of old buildings, including the magnificent Jacobian mansion Audley End House and Gardens and St Mary’s Church, the largest and one of the most beautiful parish churches in Essex.  Fine examples of elaborate moulded plasterwork (pargetting), can be seen on the Old Sun Inn (believed to have been the headquarters of Oliver Cromwell) and the houses in Castle Street and Bridge Street.  Saffron Walden Museum is of particular interest and contains everything from mammoth tusks to mummies.  In the grounds of the museum, are the ruins of the castle keep which dates back to the 1130s or 40s.

A market has been held here since 1141, and market days are now Tuesdays and Saturdays with shoppers enjoying browsing and buying goods from a variety of market stalls. Beyond the market place, there are many independent shops and eating places to choose from.
