»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”)

Concrete bunker built in WW2 as defence against invasion, quite common across the UK especially in the South and East. This one now stands in a field of wheat.

The church dates from the 13th century. Local legend claims that silver bells from the church tower were hidden in an underground passageway which ran between the church, the Old Vicarage and the Crown House Hotel to keep them safe from government soldiers. They have never been found, although some traces of the passageway have been uncovered. A nice quiet spot for a break.

Many cottages , nice places

Just south of Audley End station and adjacent to the southernmost point of today's station car park is the little-known Audley End Viaduct. A footpath rather than a bridleyway so not ridable but worth the walk down to check it out!

Short bridleway with a little single-track and some field edge. You can often see deer in the woods.
