Essex
Audley End House & Garden
A short drive from the town centre, the stately home,
landscaped gardens and immaculate lawns are a great day out.
Check ahead to see if there are any upcoming events.

Audley End Miniature Railway
A massive hit with families, the railway trails through the forest
where children can spot teddies that live in the woods. There’s
also an Enchanted Fairy and Elf Walk and picnic and play area –
great for when the warmer weather arrives! There are seasonal
events too! www.audley-end-railway.co.uk
Saffron Screen
The town features an independent community cinema, which
has a full programme of films, screenings and concerts.

Shopping
If you have a love of all things fashion, then you’ll adore Saffron
Walden’s independent boutique scene. Dotted throughout
the town are stylish stores housing high end designers and
relatively unknown brands. Stop by Ruby Rooms for the
latest fashions or Blue for timeless classic style staples and
accessories.
If it’s home décor or a special present you need visit Talents;
a small store filled with quirky items and gift ideas, while the
Corner Cupboard is great for fine jewellery and stylish home
furnishings. For a home overhaul visit Lottie Mutton, which
offers interior design services and home accessories.
Eat and drink
Saffron Walden’s crooked timber clad buildings are home to
a number of pubs. The Eight Bells is a stylish gastro pub; sink
into one of the buttery leather armchairs with a drink or book a
table in the oak beamed restaurant. The Market Place is a great
option for cocktails and tapas.
