Thaxted

Thaxted

Back in the medieval day, it was a prominent centre for wool trade. It’s easy to see how important this town was simply from the majestic and stunning parish church of St John the Baptist that dominates the skyline. Market squares and churches – these were the signifiers of important trade towns. Today, you can wander the town’s charming streets lined with timber-framed homes on your way to one of the many hidden gems, from tea rooms to traditional pubs.

Cambridge

City known for its prestigious university, where the likes of Stephen Hawking and Charles Darwin studied. But beyond its academic prowess, Cambridge is also a beauty worthy of gazing upon. Glide down the River Cam as you discover punting – an iconic Cambridge activity – as well as the city. Walk along The Backs, a scenic stretch of parkland that hugs the river and colleges.

Saffron Walden

Saffron Walden

Markets have been held here since 1141, and if you’re lucky enough to visit on a Tuesday or Saturday, you’ll see that tradition continues.
This little town was once known simply as ‘Walden’, but around 1500, the saffron crocus plant was grown extensively in the area. Saffron trade boomed. The town of Walden profited greatly from this beautiful plant... so it was renamed Saffron Walden.
