Once a working train station on the Bishop's Stortford to Braintree line, Rayne is now a lovely stop on the Flitch Way cycle and hiking trail. The station building houses the Flitch Way visitor centre and you can enjoy cakes and hot drinks from the cafe while sitting on the benches where trains once rumbled.

There's also a railway carriage museum here which is great fun for children to explore and find out more about the old branch lines.

Joined the Flitch way here - an excellent off road trail all the way to Bishop's Stortford - as an old railway - fairly flat with gentle gradients - highly recommended.
