»I spend my pocket money on buying second-hand books. I love the dry, musty smell of old books, the feeling of the silky paper between my fingers. In any case, the book collection in my room is growing and I think nothing makes a home more homely. Sometimes I feel exhilarated just holding a book in my hands.« (Deborah Crombie in “The Lost Poem”)

Watch out for the hidden ruts in the long grass - I found out the hard way. No damage though.

Jacobean mansion with beautiful grounds and garden. Managed by English Heritage, so you'll have to pay to visit, but it's worth it.

Also really good for overnight stay. Great healthy options for dinner.

Toilet is now usually locked but ask a staff member who will unlock it. Still lovely staff and food especially bacon baguette which I had this morning. Seat out front in the sun and plenty of space for bikes.

This cafe has now changed management and is called Waffle and Coffee. Still has bike racks and outside seating although I did not see the bike locks last time I was there. Staff still great and the food is even better. Bacon and egg sandwich is very good. Coffee, Tea and cakes and of course waffles. Good clean toilets so well worth visiting as a rest stop.

Fantastic view of Audley End House from Adam Bridge. Audley End is a 17th Century mansion that is known as a prodigy house, meaning that it is extra impressive. Often seen on TV on the likes of Antiques Roadshow, the house used to three times the size, if you can believe it. It's a fabulous view as you cycling past, and worth making a detour out of Saffron Walden for.
