Winners Tea Rooms

Highlight • Cafe

Great location overlooking the village green but Finchingfield can get super-busy in the summer so be prepared for queues on a nice weekend.

Open 9am-4pm (closed Tue)

Scenic Country Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Frequent piles of loose gravel and chippings heaped in the middle of the road so you generally need to stick to one tyre track - be careful if you need to move across.

Beautiful high street with half timbered buildings and guildhall. Parrishes, half way up, is a decent cafe for refreshments.

St John the Baptist Church, Thaxted

Highlight • Religious Site

Outside the church are 2 benches with plenty of space for bikes. A handy stopping place for a rest and drink. It is opposite the Swan Hotel so that is the alternative
